Richard Edwin Brown v. Koons Ford Body Shop and Penn National Security Insurance Company ( 2009 )

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: Judges Elder, Beales and Retired Judge Hodges ∗
RICHARD EDWIN BROWN
MEMORANDUM OPINION **
v. Record No. 1324-09-4 PER CURIAM
OCTOBER 6, 2009
KOONS FORD BODY SHOP AND
PENN NATIONAL SECURITY INSURANCE COMPANY
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Julie H. Heiden; Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis &
Lightfoot, on brief), for appellant.
(Bryan M. Kirchner; Angela F. Gibbs; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross,
P.C., on brief), for appellees.
Richard E. Brown appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding
that his injury did not arise out of his employment. 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 Brown v. Koons Ford Body Shop,
VWC File No. 238-14-03 (June 3, 2009). 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.
