v.     Record No. 0133-08-3                                          PER CURIAM
                                                                     MAY 13, 2008

              FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION

                 (D. Allison Mullins; Lee & Phipps, P.C., on brief), for appellant.

                 (Robert F. McDonnell, Attorney General; Maureen Riley Matsen,
                 Deputy Attorney General; Deanis L. Simmons, Senior Assistant
                 Attorney General, on brief), for appellee.

       Dennis Ray Harrison appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission

finding that he failed to prove (1) his psychological condition is either a compensable

occupational disease or a compensable ordinary disease of life; and (2) he is totally incapacitated

for all work due to that condition. 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 Harrison v. Commonwealth of Virginia/Dep’t of Mines,

Minerals & Energy, VWC File No. 230-97-89 (Dec. 7, 2007). 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.
