MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. Record No. 0188-17-4 PER CURIAM
JUNE 6, 2017
LUIS PAZ
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Bryan M. Kirchner; Travis T. Kline; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C.,
on brief), for appellants.
(Andrew S. Kasmer, on brief), for appellee.
Neka Granite Imports, Inc., Sussex Insurance Company, and Companion Property &
Casualty (collectively “employer”) appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission finding that Luis Paz was entitled to permanent total disability benefits. Employer
contends the Commission erred by finding that Paz was unable to use his injured members in any
gainful employment and that he reached maximum medical improvement to his right arm 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 Neka Granite Imps., Inc. v. Paz, JCN 2242733, 2017 VA Wrk. Comp. LEXIS 21
(Va. Wrk. Comp. Jan. 11, 2017). We dispense with oral argument and summarily affirm because

Affirmed.
