DOMINION VIRGIN IA POWER AND DOMINION RESOURCES, INC. MEMORANDUM OPINION * v. Record No. 1709-08-1 PER CURIAM DECEMBER 23, 2008 CLEVELAND N. ROBERTSON

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Arthur T. Aylward; Angela F. Gibbs; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C., on briefs), for appellants. (Kevin L. Hubbard; Albert R. Ha rtley; Hubbard and Hartley, P.C., on brief), for appellee. 1

Dominion Virginia Power and Dominion Res ources, Inc. (hereinafter collectively referred to as “employer”) appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensati on Commission. In its opening brief, employer presents seventeen questions . In its argument related to those questions, employer asserts that the commissi on erred in finding: (1) Clev eland N.

1 On October 31, 2008, counsel of record for clai mant as of that date, Kevin L. Hubbard and Hubbard and Hartley, P.C., filed an appellee’ s brief on claimant’s behalf. On November 7, 2008, Kevin L. Hubbard filed a letter motion with this Court requesting that he and Hubbard and Hartley, P.C. be permitted to withdraw pursuant to claimant’s request made to Hubbard on November 3, 2008. In that letter and a document signed by claimant and filed with this Court on November 14, 2008, claimant requested that no briefs or any documentation be accepted or received by this Court on his behalf from Kevi n L. Hubbard or Hubbard and Hartley, P.C. “at this time.” By order entered November 19, 2008 , this Court granted th e motion requesting that Kevin L. Hubbard and Hubbard and Hartley, P.C. be permitted to withdraw as counsel of record for claimant. However, because the appell ee’s brief was filed on October 31, 2008, before claimant requested that his counsel be permitted to withdraw and before we granted that motion, we have considered the appellee’s brief in summarily affirming th e commission’s decision.- 2 - claim was not barred by willful misconduct unde r Code § 65.2-306; (4) claimant proved he sustained a psychiatric injury as a result of his August 26, 2003 injury by accident; (5) the medical evidence supported claimant’s claim for disa bility benefits; (6) clai mant proved that all of his medical treatment after February 18, 2004 was causally related to the August 26, 2003 injury by accident; (7) cl aimant proved he adequately marketed his residual work capacity during the periods he was not totally disa bled; and (8) employer failed to pr ove it was entitled to a credit for periods of vacation and sick pay made to clai mant during various periods of total disability.

We have reviewed the record and the commission ’s opinion and find that th is appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the commission in its final opinion. See Robertson v. Dominion Virginia Power , VWC File No. 216-22-66 (June 17, 2008). We dispense with oral argument and summarily affirm because the facts and legal cont entions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid th e decisional process.

See Code § 17.1-403; Rule 5A:27. 2

Affirmed.

2 We deny claimant’s Motion to File Appe llee’s Supplemental Appendix. In rendering our decision, however, we considered the evid ence in the record and properly before the commission when it rendered its decision.
