FRANCIS N. SANDERS NURSING HOME, INC. AND

GUIDEONE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY

MEMORANDUM OPINION * v. Record No. 0332-08-1 PER CURIAM JUNE 3, 2008 THE ESTATE OF LENORA G. GIERS BY

ROBERT R. GIERS

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Lawrence P. Postol; Seyfarth Shaw, LLP, on brief), for appellants.

No brief for appellee.

Francis N. Sanders Nursing Home, Inc. and its insurer (hereinafter referred to as “employer”) appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission (1) not allowing employer’s Application for Hearing filed on July 16, 2001 to proceed to adjudication or be reinstated; (2) rejecting employer’s February 8, 2007 Application for Hearing; and (3) awarding unpaid temporary total disability benefits to The Estate of Lenora G. Giers. 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 The Estate of Lenora G. Giers v. Francis N. Sanders Nursing Home, Inc., VWC File No. 200-72-25 (Jan. 30, 2008). 1 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.
