COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

Present: Judges Kelsey, Petty and Senior Judge Bumgardner

RONALD BLUEFORD AND CHRISTINE SAMPSON/ HOWARD FUNERAL HOME MEMORANDUM OPINION * v. Record No. 0116-07-1 PER CURIAM OCTOBER 23, 2007 ULYSSES C. WISE, SR.

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Richard B. Donaldson, Jr.; Jennifer L. Muse; Jones, Blechman, Woltz & Kelly, P.C., on brief), for appellants.

(Jamie L. Karek; Geoffrey R. McDonald & Associates, P.C., on brief), for appellee.

Ronald Blueford and Christine Sampson/Howard Funeral Home (hereinafter referred to as “employer”) appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding that Ulysses C. Wise, Sr. proved he sustained a compensable injury by accident while working for employer on October 3, 2004. 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 Wise v. Ronald Blueford and Christine Sampson/Howard Funeral Home, VWC File No. 223-09-50 (December 12, 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.
