COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA Present: Judges Benton, Haley and Senior Judge Coleman BACOVA GUILD, LTD. AND LIBERTY MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY v. Record No. 0966-06-2 MEMORANDUM OPINION* PER CURIAM AUGUST 15, 2006 ERNEST GORDON SHINAULT, SR. FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Roger L. Williams; John T. Cornett, Jr.; Williams & Lynch, on brief), for appellants. (Russell W. Updike; Nolan R. Nicely, Jr.; Wilson, Updike & Nicely, on brief), for appellee. Bacova Guild and its insurer appeal a decision of the Workers Compensation Commission awarding Ernest Gordon Shinault, Sr. temporary total disability benefits and finding he proved (1) an injury by accident arising out of his employment on July 20, 2004 and (2) causally related disability. We have reviewed the record and the commission s opinion and hold that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the commission s award for the reasons stated by the commission in its final opinion. See Shinault v. Bacova Guild, Ltd., VWC File No. 219-87-57 (Mar. 14, 2006). 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.
