Opinion

Record No. 2355-08-1.

February 10, 2009.

Appeal from the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission.

(Byron A. Adams, on brief), for appellee.

Present: Judges Humphreys, Beales and Powell.


MEMORANDUM OPINION

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


Viteri Construction Management, Inc. and its insurer (hereinafter referred to as "employer") appeal a decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission awarding Faith L. Wilson (claimant) permanent total disability benefits. Employer contends (1) claimant failed to prove she sustained a loss of two body parts as required for an award under Code § 65.2-503(C); (2) the commission erred in relying upon the opinion and permanency ratings of Dr. Roger Phillips rather than Dr. Lawrence Shall; and (3) no credible medical evidence exists in the record to support a finding of permanent and total disability. 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 Wilson v. Viteri Constr. Mgmt., Inc., VWC File No. 186-89-63 (Sept. 8, 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.
