HARRY WILLIAM HALL MEMORANDUM OPINION* v. Record No. 0980-13-4 PER CURIAM OCTOBER 8, 2013 FREESTATE ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC. AND AMERICAN HOME ASSURANCE COMPANY

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Harry William Hall, pro se, on briefs).

(Alex M. Mayfield; Jordan Coyne & Savits, LLP, on brief), for appellees.

Harry William Hall appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding that his May 2012 claim is barred by the doctrine of res judicata. On appeal, Hall claims (1) appellees’ current counsel was not properly substituted for former counsel, (2) the commission erred in finding that Hall filed a “Claim of Benefit for a Change of Condition” on December 28, 2011, (3) the commission misinterpreted an April 8, 2003 award, and (4) the commission “erred when it did not use its inherent powers to make its own motion based on the filed ‘Change of Condition’ and ‘Review On the Record.’”

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 Hall v.

Affirmed.
