MEMORANDUM OPINION *
v. Record No. 0146-11-1 PER CURIAM
JUNE 14, 2011
VIRGINIA TECH UNIVERSITY (VPI & SU)/
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Gerald G. Poindexter; Poindexter & Associates, on brief), for
appellant.
(Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II, Attorney General; Wesley G. Russell, Jr.,
Deputy Attorney General; Peter R. Messitt, Senior Assistant
Attorney General; Cheryl A. Wilkerson, Senior Assistant Attorney
General, on brief), for appellee.
Cindy Gaines-Kyttle (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission affirming the deputy commissioner’s findings that she failed to prove what, if any,
injury she suffered in an April 3, 2007 accident and that she did not prove that her ongoing
symptoms, disability, and medical treatment since that time were causally related to the accident.
Claimant contends the commission erred in finding the evidence insufficient to demonstrate an
injury by accident, by failing “to give evidentiary weight to the uncontroverted testimony of
[her] and her husband,” and by “fail[ing] to adhere to the law . . . .”
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 Gaines-Kyttle v. Virginia Tech Univ., VWC File No. 235-55-94 (Dec. 21, 2010).

Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
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.
