COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA Present: Judges Elder, Beales and Senior Judge Annunziata VCU HEALTH SYSTEM AUTHORITY v. Record No. 2073-11-2 MEMORANDUM OPINION * PER CURIAM FEBRUARY 7, 2012 SHERRY BROWN FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS COMPENSATION COMMISSION (James G. Muncie, Jr.; Angela F. Gibbs; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C., on brief), for appellant. No brief for appellee. VCU Health System Authority appeals a decision of the Workers Compensation Commission finding that Sherry Brown sustained a compensable injury by accident arising out of her employment when she repeatedly placed a morbidly obese patient s foot onto the foot pedal of a wheelchair while in a squatting position for a couple of minutes, which established a work-related exertion that caused her 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 Brown v. VCU Health Sys. Auth., VWC File No. VA000-0036-3696 (Sept. 26, 2011). 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.
