GLADYS DELAINE MOORE

              FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION

                 appellants.

                 (Robert L. Morrison, Jr.; Williams, Morrison, Light & Moreau, on
                 brief), for appellee.

       Big Lots Stores, Inc. and its insurer (hereinafter referred to as “employer”) appeal a

decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding that (1) employer failed to prove

Gladys Delaine Moore (claimant) refused recommended medical treatment; and (2) claimant

proved she was temporarily totally disabled beginning August 24, 2006 and continuing. 1 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

Moore v. Big Lots Stores, Inc., VWC File No. 223-02-61 (June 26, 2008). We dispense with

oral argument and summarily affirm because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

       *

alleged failure to cooperate with recommended medical treatment on August 29, 2007.
