COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA Present: Judges Haley, Millette and Senior Judge Coleman DENNIS RAY HARRISON v. Record No. 0133-08-3 MEMORANDUM OPINION * PER CURIAM MAY 13, 2008 COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA/ DEPARTMENT OF MINES, MINERALS & ENERGY FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS COMPENSATION COMMISSION (D. Allison Mullins; Lee & Phipps, P.C., on brief), for appellant. (Robert F. McDonnell, Attorney General; Maureen Riley Matsen, Deputy Attorney General; Deanis L. Simmons, Senior Assistant Attorney General, on brief), for appellee. Dennis Ray Harrison appeals a decision of the Workers Compensation Commission finding that he failed to prove (1) his psychological condition is either a compensable occupational disease or a compensable ordinary disease of life; and (2) he is totally incapacitated for all work due to that condition. 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 Harrison v. Commonwealth of Virginia/Dep t of Mines, Minerals & Energy, VWC File No. 230-97-89 (Dec. 7, 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.
