MEMORANDUM OPINION* PER CURIAM MAY 15, 2007 Record No. 3090-06-4 MONROE EDWARD ALGER FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Julie H. Heiden; Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis & Lightfoot, L.L.P., on briefs), for Monroe Edward Alger. (Joseph C. Veith, III; Trichilo, Bancroft, McGavin, Horvath & Judkins, P.C., on briefs), for Dynalectric Company and American Casualty Company of Reading, Pennsylvania. Monroe Edward Alger (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers Compensation Commission finding that he failed to prove he remained totally disabled after July 29, 2005 and continuing as a result of his March 18, 2004 compensable injury by accident. Dynalectric Company and its insurer appeal that same decision finding that claimant s back condition, disability, and medical treatment after June 22, 2004, were causally related to his compensable injury by accident. We have reviewed the record and the commission s opinion and find that * Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication. these appeals are without merit. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the commission in its final opinion. See Alger v. Dynalectric Co., VWC File No. 218-33-69 (Nov. 16, 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. -2-
