CARROLL, J. The employee appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge denied and dismissed her claim for further compensation benefits attributable to an accepted 1991 industrial injury. The employee’s ongoing partial incapacity benefits, which payment the parties had agreed to in 1992, had been terminated as of March 25, 1994 by way of an unappealed hearing decision. (Dec. 5.) The employee then claimed psychological disability stemming from physical injuries she sustained while in the course of her employment with the employer. The denial of that claim was summarily affirmed by the reviewing board and thereafter affirmed by a non-published order of a single justice of the Appeals Court. In the present appeal from the decision denying her most recent claim, the employee asserts that the judge erroneously failed to allow additional medical evidence in light of an inadequate impartial physician’s opinion. We disagree and affirm the decision.1
