HOLTZMAN CORP. AND FEDERATED SERVICE INS. CO. MEMORANDUM OPINION * v. Record No. 0123-11-3 PER CURIAM MAY 17, 2011 WADE ALLEN SEEKFORD

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

(A. Thomas Lane, Jr., on brief), for appellee.

Holtzman Corp. and Federated Service Ins. Co. (collectively, “employer”) appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission. Employer contends the commission erred in: (1) applying the dissimilar employment rule; (2) failing to find Wade Allen Seekford had an increase in earnings post-injury and in refusing to impute post-injury earnings to Seekford; (3) finding Seekford did not return to employment when he began to work for Superior Sealing and Maintenance, Inc. (“Superior”), in April 2009; and (4) failing to find Seekman neglected to report a return to employment and/or increase in earnings to employer when he returned to work for Superior. 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 Seekford v. Holtzman Corp., VWC File No. VA010-0242-3592 (Dec. 20, 2010). We dispense with oral argument and summarily affirm because the facts and legal
