COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

Present: Judges Kelsey, Petty and Senior Judge Bumgardner

KARILYN SHEPHERD MEMORANDUM OPINION * v. Record No. 2593-10-3 PER CURIAM APRIL 12, 2011 MERILLAT INDUSTRIES AND TRAVELERS INDEMNITY COMPANY OF AMERICA

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (A. Thomas Lane, Jr., on brief), for appellant.

(Cathleen P. Welsh; Lenhart Obenshain, on brief), for appellees.

Karilyn Shepherd appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding she failed to prove her carpal tunnel syndrome developed as a direct result of her employment and not from any other causes. 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 Shepherd v. Merillat Indus., VWC File No. VA000-0007-7425 (Nov. 17, 2010). 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.
