E. RUSSELL SMOOT & SON, WOOD PRODUCTS OF VIRGINIA GROUP SELF-INSURANCE ASSOCIATION AND SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. MEMORANDUM OPINION * v. Record No. 0646-10-2 PER CURIAM AUGUST 10, 2010 STEVE F. SMITH

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Joshua M. Wulf; Angela F. Gibbs; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C., on brief), for appellants.

No brief for appellee.

E. Russell Smoot & Son, Wood Products of Virginia Self-Insurance Association, and Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc. (employer) appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission. On appeal, employer contends the commission erred in (1) concluding claimant Steve Smith’s injury arose out of his employment; and (2) finding claimant was working in a cramped or awkward position unique to his employment that contributed to his injury. 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 Smith v. E. Russell Smoot & Son, VWC File No. VA000-0004-7392 (Mar. 18, 2010). We dispense with oral argument and summarily affirm

* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication. 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.
