Present: Judges Frank, Huff and Senior Judge Haley
EG&G TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC. AND
INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE
STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA
MEMORANDUM OPINION *
v. Record No. 0834-12-4 PER CURIAM
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
CHERYL L. TIFFANY
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Kathryn Spruill Lingle; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C., on brief), for
appellants.
(Craig A. Brown; Ashcraft & Gerel, LLP, on brief), for appellee.
EG&G Technical Services, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as employer) appeals a decision
of the Workers’ Compensation Commission reversing the deputy commissioner’s opinion and
reinstating disability benefits to Cheryl L. Tiffany (claimant). Employer contends the
commission erred by 1) finding the medical evidence did not provide sufficient information to
determine if claimant had been released to perform her pre-injury job duties, 2) finding employer
had the burden of establishing claimant’s treating physician was familiar with her pre-injury job
duties, and 3) “placing the burden of proof on [employer] to prove that [claimant’s] non-work
related conditions did not prevent a return to work.” We have reviewed the record and the
commission’s opinion and find that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the commission in its final opinion. See Tiffany v. EG&G Technical Servs.,
Inc., VWC File No. JCN VA000-0031-3183 (Apr. 9, 2012). We dispense with oral argument

Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
and summarily affirm because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process. See Code
§ 17.1-403; Rule 5A:27.
Affirmed.
