MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Joel W. Young; Law Offices of Wesley G. Marshall, PLC, on brief), for appellant.
(James G. Muncie, Jr.; Angela F. Gibbs; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C., on brief), for appellees.
Charles L. Brown (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission finding that his reflex sympathetic dystrophy was not a compensable consequence of his June 22, 2009 accident. Claimant also contends the commission erred in failing to afford great weight to the opinion of his attending physicians and in failing to give preponderating weight to the opinion of Dr. Kostas J. Constantine because the commission was wary of Dr. Constantine's checked responses in questionnaires. 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 Brown v. VSE Corp., VWC File No. JCN VA000-0011-1635 (Apr. 27, 2011). 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.
