ORDER

James Copeland (“Copeland”) appeals the Labor and Industrial Relation Commission's (the “Commission”) final award denying compensation on his claim for workers’ compensation benefits filed against his employer, Gencom, Inc. On appeal, Copeland argues the Commission erred in determining Copeland's arterial thrombosis, ischemia, and subsequent injuries were idiopathic and not caused by any work-related accident. Copeland argues that the Commission's error wrongfully denied him temporary total disability benefits, past medical bills, and future medical treatment, as well as permanent total disability benefits. We affirm. A published opinion would have no precedential value. We have provided the parties with an unpublished memorandum that sets forth the reasons for this order. Rule 84.16(b).
