CLINCHFIELD COAL COMPANY AND THE PITTSON COMPANY v. FRANKLIN LEWIS CALO (2011)

Court of Appeals of Virginia.

CLINCHFIELD COAL COMPANY AND THE PITTSON COMPANY v. FRANKLIN LEWIS CALO

Record No. 2181-10-3

Decided: February 22, 2011

Present: Judges Frank, Alston and Senior Judge Coleman

(Ramesh Murthy; Penn, Stuart & Eskridge, on brief), for appellants. (Paul L. Phipps; Jason A. Mullins; Lee & Phipps, P.C., on brief), for appellee.

Clinchfield Coal Company and its insurer, The Pittson Company, appeal a decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission finding Franklin Lewis Calo's July 27, 2009 motion to amend his claim for temporary total disability benefits related back to his November 17, 2008 claim for temporary total disability benefits, and was not time-barred by Code § 65.2-708. 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 Calo v. Clinchfield Coal Co., VWC File No. 205-92-23 (Sept. 24, 2010). 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.
