WILLIAM R. BROWN MEMORANDUM OPINION * v. Record No. 2209-10-4 PER CURIAM JULY 5, 2011 COWLES NISSAN CHRYSLER AND VADA GROUP SELF-INSURANCE ASSOCIATION

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

(Frederick T. Schubert, II; Angela F. Gibbs; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C., on brief), for appellees.

We (1) dismiss the show-cause order entered on January 31, 2011, and (2) deny appellees’ motion to dismiss filed on January 5, 2011. -2-
