KARA NATONIA THOMAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. Record No. 0918-16-2 PER CURIAM
OCTOBER 11, 2016
HALLMARK SYSTEMS, INC. AND
LM INSURANCE CORPORATION
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Brody Reid; ReidGoodwin, PLC, on brief), for appellant.
(Imie Aisiku Harber; Law Offices of Christopher R. Costabile, on
brief), for appellees.
Kara Natonia Thomas (appellant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission. She alleges the Commission erred in its application of the burden of proof to her
impairment rating claim and in denying her claim for permanent partial disability. 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 opinion. See Thomas v.
Hallmark Sys., Inc., JCN VA00000868783 (Va. Wrk. Comp. May 5, 2016). 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.
