Dominion Virginia Power v. Raymond Warren

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA Present: Judges Frank, Clements and Haley DOMINION VIRGINIA POWER MEMORANDUM OPINION* v. Record No. 2776-05-1 PER CURIAM MARCH 28, 2006 RAYMOND WARREN FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Richard S. Sperbeck; Iris W. Redmond; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C., on brief), for appellant. (John H. Klein; Charlene Parker Brown; Montagna Klein Camden, LLP, on brief), for appellee. Dominion Virginia Power appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding Raymond Warren proved that (1) his back problems were a compensable consequence of his August 7, 2001 injury by accident to his right knee injury; (2) his disability was causally related to the August 7, 2001 injury by accident; and (3) his treatment with Dr. Felix Kirven was employer’s responsibility. 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 Warren v. Dominion Virginia Power, VWC File No. 208-31-06 (Oct. 14, 2005). 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. * Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
