MEMORANDUM OPINION^__ BY

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

PER CURIAM.

Verizon Services Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "employer") appeals a decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission finding that (1) employer failed to prove Helen Marie Gee (claimant) was capable of performing light duty work; (2) a change in treating physicians was not warranted; and (3) claimant was eligible for reinstatement of her temporary total disability benefits.

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 Gee v. Verizon Services, Inc., VWC File No. 213-18-54 (May 30, 2008). 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.
