MEMORANDUM OPINION

HANISEE, Chief Judge.

{1}       Worker appeals the Workers’ Compensation Judge’s (WCJ) order granting Employer/Insurer’s motion to dismiss, generally contending that Worker was entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment for the thoracic injury she sustained at work. This Court filed a notice of proposed summary disposition proposing to affirm the WCJ’s order on the basis of res judicata. [CN 2-4] Worker filed a notice, which is construed as timely pursuant to this Court’s order, stating that she does not intend to oppose this Court’s notice of proposed summary disposition.

{2}       For the reasons stated in the notice of proposed disposition, and herein, we affirm the WCJ’s order dismissing Worker’s claims.

{3}       IT IS SO ORDERED.
