Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

Present: Judges Alston, Decker and Senior Judge Coleman UNPUBLISHED

GREYHOUND LINES, INC. AND ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY MEMORANDUM OPINION* v. Record No. 2430-13-4 PER CURIAM MAY 13, 2014 PHILLIP REDFEARN

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Andrew M. Alexander; Semmes, Bowen & Semmes, P.C., on briefs), for appellants.

(Michael J. Beste; Geoff McDonald & Associates, P.C., on brief), for appellee.

Greyhound Lines, Inc. and Ace American Insurance Company (appellants) appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding Phillip Redfearn’s current disability is causally related to his compensable injury by accident. Appellants contend the commission incorrectly held that “Dr. [Cyrus S.] Kump [II] is familiar with Redfearn’s prior ankle injury” and incorrectly “gave weight to the opinions of physicians who were unfamiliar with Redfearn’s medical history.” Appellants also argue the record does not contain sufficient evidence to support the findings of the commission. 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 Redfearn v. Greyhound Lines, Inc., VWC File No. VA00000080320 (Nov. 18, 2013). 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.
