Appeal from the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission.
(Michael L. Ritchie; Ritchie Law Firm, P.L.C., on brief), for appellant.
(Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II, Attorney General; Wesley G. Russell, Jr., Deputy Attorney General; Peter R. Messitt, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Scott John Fitzgerald, Senior Assistant Attorney General, on brief), for appellee.

Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
Christopher D. Gray appeals a decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission finding that Gray did not meet his burden in establishing the causal connection between his low back injury and the compensable work 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 Gray v. Coffeewood Correctional Center, VWC File No. 233-13-98 (Feb. 9, 2010). 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.
