COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: Judges Bumgardner, Kelsey and Senior Judge Hodges
ARROTE T. WILLIS
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. Record No. 1358-05-3 PER CURIAM
OCTOBER 4, 2005
THE GOODYEAR TIRE AND RUBBER COMPANY
AND LIBERTY INSURANCE CORPORATION
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Philip B. Baker; Sanzone & Baker, P.C., on brief), for appellant.
(James A.L. Daniel; M. Brent Saunders; Daniel, Vaughan, Medley &
Smitherman, P.C., on brief), for appellees.
Arrote T. Willis (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission finding that he failed to prove he sustained a compensable injury by accident on
June 27, 2002, but rather his condition was caused by non-compensable repetitive and
cumulative trauma. Claimant also contends the commission erred in allowing into evidence
(1) the opinions of Dr. J. Gordon Burch based upon a videotape; and (2) testimony about
claimant’s prior elbow injury. 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 Willis v. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, VWC
File No. 212-84-75 (May 6, 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.
