February 16, 2010.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Augusta County, Victor V. Ludwig, Judge.
(Susan J. Poole, pro se, on briefs).
(William C. Mims, Attorney General; Elizabeth B. Peay, Assistant Attorney General; Donald G. Powers, Senior Assistant Attorney General, on brief), for appellee Virginia Employment Commission.
No brief for appellee Target Corporation.
Present: Judges Frank, Alston and Senior Judge Coleman.
Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
Susan J. Poole (appellant) appeals the decision by the circuit court affirming a decision by the Virginia Employment Commission (commission). The commission found that (1) Target Corporation (employer) followed its internal policies in issuing the appropriate number of warnings for misconduct prior to terminating appellant for cause; (2) appellant sustained a reportable injury on April 17, 2008, but failed to report her injury in violation of employer's policy; and (3) employer followed proper procedures in conducting appellant's termination from employment. We have reviewed the record, the circuit court's order, 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 Poole v. Target Corp., Commission Decision 85709-C (Mar. 10, 2009), as affirmed by the circuit court, Poole v. Virginia Employment Comm'n, Case No. 15CL09000606-00 (Sept. 1, 2009). 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.
