COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

Present: Judges Humphreys, Powell and Senior Judge Clements

WILLIAM JOHN PETERSON MEMORANDUM OPINION * v. Record No. 1016-09-4 PER CURIAM AUGUST 18, 2009 WILLIAM PETERSON AND COMPANION PROPERTY & CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (William John Peterson, pro se, on brief).

No brief for appellees.

William John Peterson appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission refusing to assess sanctions against Companion Property & Casualty Insurance Company for its denial of diagnostic medical testing. 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 Peterson v. William Peterson, VWC File No. 208-42-08 (Mar. 19, 2009). 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.
