COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA Present: Judges Kelsey, Petty and Senior Judge Bumgardner PETE J. BURK v. Record No. 2598-07-3 MEMORANDUM OPINION * PER CURIAM FEBRUARY 12, 2008 WISE COUNTY SHERIFF S OFFICE AND VIRGINIA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES GROUP SELF-INSURANCE ASSOCIATION FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS COMPENSATION COMMISSION (D. Allison Mullins; Lee & Phipps, P.C., on brief), for appellant. (John C. Johnson; Frith Anderson & Peake, P.C., on brief), for appellees. Pete J. Burk appeals a decision of the Workers Compensation Commission finding that he failed to prove he sustained an injury by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment on August 30, 2006. 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 Burk v. Wise County Sheriff s Office, VWC File No. 230-24-00 (Sept. 28, 2007). 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. * Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
