COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

Present: Judges Humphreys, Beales and Senior Judge Fitzpatrick

LOWE’S OF CHARLOTTESVILLE #517 AND SPECIALTY RISK SERVICES MEMORANDUM OPINION* v. Record No. 0590-07-3 PER CURIAM JULY 31, 2007 JOHN W. GARVER

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Calvin W. Fowler; J.P. McGuire Boyd; Williams Mullen, on brief), for appellants.

(George L. Townsend; The Chandler Law Group, on brief), for appellee.

Lowe’s of Charlottesville #517 and its insurer appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding that John W. Garver proved his back surgery and total disability beginning June 22, 2005 were causally related to his compensable March 20, 2003 injury by accident. 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 Garver v. Lowe’s of Charlottesville #0517, VWC File No. 216-13-82 (Feb.

14, 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.
