MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.


Catherine L. Jenkins (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission. Claimant contends the commission erred in (1) finding she failed to prove she suffered post-concussive syndrome, a head and/or brain injury, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, or any back injury as a result of her compensable November 13, 2000 injury by accident; (2) failing to apply the longstanding rule of interpretation that the opinions of the treating physicians are entitled to great weight; (3) accepting Dr. Bruce Smoller's opinion; (4) finding claimant was not entitled to an award of disability benefits; and (5) finding she failed to prove she was disabled from July 12, 2001 and continuing as result of her November 13, 2000 compensable injury by accident. We have reviewed the record and the commission's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the commission in its final opinion. See Jenkins v. Arlington (County of) School Bd., VWC File No. 205-69-08 (Oct. 27, 2004). 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.
