    MEMORANDUM OPINION*
    v.     Record No. 1398-17-4                                          PER CURIAM
    DECEMBER 12, 2017
    SERGUT TIBEBU
    FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
    (Joseph F. Giordano; Kathryn Lea Harman; Semmes, Bowen &
    Semmes, on briefs), for appellants.
    (Benjamin J. Trichilo; McCandlish Lillard, P.C., on brief), for
    appellee.
    Carlson Holdings, Inc. and Ace American Ins. Co. (Trav. Indemnity Co.) appeal a
    decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission awarding Sergut Tibebu temporary total
    and temporary partial disability benefits. Appellants contend the Commission erred by finding
    Tibebu proved by clear and convincing evidence that she suffered from a compensable ordinary
    disease of life and that the Commission incorrectly relied on a credibility assessment of the
    deputy commissioner. 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 Tibebu v. Carlson Holdings, Inc., JCN VA00001234845 (Aug. 4, 2017).
    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.
