UNPUBLISHED

Present: Judges Frank, Huff and Senior Judge Haley MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION (S. Vernon Priddy III; Sarah Y. M. Himmel; Two Rivers Law Group, P.C., on brief), for appellants. (Paul L. Phipps; Mingkwan Emme Collins; Lee and Phipps, P.C., on brief), for appellee.

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

A & G Coal Corporation and New Hampshire Insurance Company (appellants) appeal a decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission (the "commission"). Appellants allege the commission erred in upholding decisions of the deputy commissioner: 1) refusing to leave the record open after the hearing to permit appellants to obtain an independent medical examination of Edward Bright; 2) finding Bright proved he sustained a work injury by accident; and 3) concluding Bright established a mechanical change to his body caused by the accident. 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 Bright v. A & G Coal, Corp., JCN VA00000851999 (June 30, 2014). 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.
