UNPUBLISHED COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA Present: Judges Elder, Alston and Senior Judge Willis DISH NETWORK CORPORATION AND INDEMNITY INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA v. Record No. 1323-12-1 MEMORANDUM OPINION * PER CURIAM DECEMBER 26, 2012 ROBERT LAWRENCE ROBINSON, JR. FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS COMPENSATION COMMISSION (S. Vernon Priddy III; Two Rivers Law Group, P.C., on brief), for appellants. (Adam B. Shall; Philip J. Geib, P.C., on brief), for appellee. Dish Network Corporation and Indemnity Insurance Company of North America appeal a decision of the Workers Compensation Commission finding that (1) the statute of limitations did not bar Robert Lawrence Robinson, Jr. s claim for surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome and related disability benefits, and (2) Robinson met his burden to establish that his ulnar nerve problem at his elbow is causally related to his industrial injury. 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 Robinson v. Dish Network Corp., VWC File No. JCN 238-91-16 (June 28, 2012). 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.
