COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: 	Judges McClanahan,* Haley and Senior Judge Willis
MARCUS ANTHONY SMALLS
MEMORANDUM OPINION**
v. 	Record No. 2589-10-4 	PER CURIAM
AUGUST 16, 2011
BELL CORPORATION OF ROCHESTER AND
TRAVELERS INDEMNITY COMPANY OF ILLINOIS
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Marcus Anthony Smalls, pro se, on brief).
(Francis G. Marrin; Law Offices of Roger S. Mackey, on brief), for
appellees.
Marcus Anthony Smalls (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission denying his claim for permanent partial disability benefits and payment of medical
bills.1 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 Smalls v. Bell Corp. of Rochester/Bell Grp., Inc., VWC File No. 203-33-84 (Nov.
10, 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.
* Justice McClanahan participated in the decision of this case prior to her investiture as a
Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia
** Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication
1 The commission determined those claims have been previously litigated and are barred
by res judicata because it was previously determined that the injuries claimant sustained in his
October 16, 2000 workplace accident had resolved and his condition was no longer related to his
workplace accident.
