KARL WENDELL III v. WESTMORELAND COUNTY AND VML INSURANCE PROGRAMS (2011)

Court of Appeals of Virginia.

KARL V. WENDELL, III v. WESTMORELAND COUNTY AND VML INSURANCE PROGRAMS

Record No. 0120–11–2

Decided: May 17, 2011

Present: Judges Frank, Alston and Senior Judge Coleman

(James Monroe; Law Office of James Monroe, PLC, on brief), for appellant. (Robert A. Rapaport; Bonnie P. Lane; Clarke, Dolph, Rapaport, Hull, Brunick & Garriott, P.L.C., on brief), for appellees.

Karl V. Wendell, III appeals a decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission finding he was not entitled to benefits because his injury did not arise out of and in the course of his employment and he was not on a special errand at the time of his injury. 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 Wendell v. Westmoreland (County of), VWC File No. VA000–0006–5650 (Dec. 21, 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.
