MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. Record No. 1521-05-1 PER CURIAM
OCTOBER 18, 2005
ATLANTIC COAST AIRLINES, INC. AND
AMERICAN PROTECTION INSURANCE COMPANY
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Gilbert Maurice Wood, pro se, on brief).
(Edward H. Grove, III; Brault Palmer Grove White & Steinhilber
LLP, on brief), for appellees.
Gilbert Maurice Wood appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission,
which ruled that Wood waived and abandoned his right to a review of the deputy commissioner’s
decision by failing to assign any specific errors to the deputy commissioner’s findings of fact or
conclusions of law and failing to file a written statement. Conducting an independent review of
the record, the commission also ruled that the record supported the deputy commissioner’s ruling

to rescind a compromise settlement approved on October 23, 2001. We have reviewed the
record and the commission’s opinion, and we hold that this appeal is without merit.
Accordingly, we affirm the commission’s decision for the reasons stated by the commission in
its final opinion. See Wood v. Atlantic Coast Airlines, Inc., VWC File No. 201-01-48 (May 6,
2005). We dispense with oral argument and summarily affirm because the facts and legal
