MICHELE LYNN NAVARRO v. CAF ENTERPRISES INC AND TRAVELERS INDEMNITY COMPANY OF AMERICA (2011)

Court of Appeals of Virginia.

MICHELE LYNN NAVARRO v. CAFÉ ENTERPRISES, INC. AND TRAVELERS INDEMNITY COMPANY OF AMERICA

Record No. 2288-10-3

Decided: March 15, 2011

Present: Judges Frank, Alston and Senior Judge Coleman

(Timothy E. Kirtner; Gilmer, Sadler, Ingram, Sutherland & Hutton, on briefs), for appellant. (Patsy L. Mundy; Law Offices of Mark J. Beachy, on brief), for appellees.

Michele Lynn Navarro (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission. She contends the commission erred (1) in disregarding the opinions of claimant's treating doctors; (2) in relying on the opinions of a non-treating expert; (3) by failing to give deference to the deputy commissioner's conclusions regarding claimant's credibility; and (4) by failing to consider all the evidence in the record. 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 Navarro v. Café Enterprises, Inc., VWC File No. VA000-0012-4834 (Sept. 28, 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.
