FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION

(Roger S. Mackey, on brief), for appellees.
Mohammed K. Benyoussef (claimant) appeals from a September 12, 2013 decision of the
Workers’ Compensation Commission affirming a deputy commissioner’s opinion finding
claimant did not prove his industrial accident arose out of and in the course of his employment.
Claimant contends the commission erred in finding 1) “that [claimant’s] industrial accident did
