COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: Judges Frank, Alston and Senior Judge Coleman
ANTHONY LAWRENCE FALCONE
MEMORANDUM OPINION *
v. Record No. 1244-11-4 PER CURIAM
NOVEMBER 1, 2011
THE WASHINGTON POST
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Julie H. Heiden; M. Thomas McWeeny; Koonz, McKenney,
Johnson, DePaolis & Lightfoot, L.L.P., on brief), for appellant.
(William H. Schladt; Godwin, Erlandson, MacLaughlin, Vernon &
Daney, LLC, on brief), for appellee.
Anthony Lawrence Falcone (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission finding he was not entitled to any award of permanent partial disability due to a
2008 injury to his right shoulder. Claimant contends the commission erred by holding he was
not entitled to the five percent permanent partial disability rating to his right shoulder and finding
he did not suffer a five percent partial disability increase in his right shoulder. 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
Lawrence v. The Washington Post, JCN 239-64-25 (June 7, 2011). 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.
