COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

Present: Judges Elder, Clements and Senior Judge Annunziata

MARY IMMACULATE HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS GROUP SELF-INSURANCE ASSOCIATION MEMORANDUM OPINION* v. Record No. 0683-07-1 PER CURIAM SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 BRENDA HUMPHRIES NASH

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (George J. Dancigers; Deborah B. Vaughn; McKenry, Dancigers, Dawson & Lake, P.C., on brief), for appellants.

(Byron A. Adams, on brief), for appellee.

Mary Immaculate Hospital and its insurer appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding that Brenda Humphries Nash proved she was entitled to an award of permanent total disability benefits beginning August 24, 2006 and continuing. 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 Nash v. Mary Immaculate Hosp., VWC File No. 181-88-96 (Mar. 6, 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.
