COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: Judges Humphreys, Beales and Senior Judge Fitzpatrick
DALE STANLEY TRUCKING, INC. AND
AMERICAN MINING INSURANCE COMPANY
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. Record No. 0252-07-3 PER CURIAM
JUNE 5, 2007
CHARLES C. SMITH
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(John R. Sigmond; Penn, Stuart & Eskridge, on brief), for
appellants.
(Kerry S. Hay; Lee & Phipps, P.C., on brief), for appellee.
Dale Stanley Trucking, Inc. and its insurer (hereinafter referred to as “employer”) appeal
a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding that (1) the panel of physicians
offered by employer to Charles C. Smith (claimant) was defective; and (2) employer was liable
for payment of medical treatment provided to claimant by and through Dr. Robert Means. 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
Smith v. Dale Stanley Trucking, Inc., VWC File No. 227-98-45 (Jan. 17, 2007). We dispense
with oral argument 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.
