COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: Judges Benton, Haley and Senior Judge Coleman
BACOVA GUILD, LTD. AND
LIBERTY MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. Record No. 0966-06-2 PER CURIAM
AUGUST 15, 2006
ERNEST GORDON SHINAULT, SR.
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Roger L. Williams; John T. Cornett, Jr.; Williams & Lynch, on
brief), for appellants.
(Russell W. Updike; Nolan R. Nicely, Jr.; Wilson, Updike & Nicely,
on brief), for appellee.
Bacova Guild and its insurer appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission awarding Ernest Gordon Shinault, Sr. temporary total disability benefits and finding
he proved (1) an injury by accident arising out of his employment on July 20, 2004 and (2)
causally related disability. We have reviewed the record and the commission’s opinion and hold
that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the commission’s award for the reasons
stated by the commission in its final opinion. See Shinault v. Bacova Guild, Ltd., VWC File
No. 219-87-57 (Mar. 14, 2006). 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.
