JUNE 23, 2009
GEORGE CONSTANTINE GIATAS
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Patricia C. Arrighi; Wendy E. Warren; PennStuart, on brief), for
appellants.
(M. Thomas McWeeny; Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis &
Lightfoot, L.L.P., on brief), for appellee.
United Parcel Service, Inc. and Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company (hereinafter
referred to as employer) appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding
that George C. Giatas (claimant) proved additional temporary total disability from February 26,
2007 through May 11, 2008. Employer assigns error to the finding that the medical reports of
Dr. Michael C. Trahos causally related claimant’s current disability to his compensable 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
Giatas v. United Parcel Service, Inc., VWC File No. 215-73-45 (Jan. 14, 2009). We dispense
with oral argument and summarily affirm because the facts and legal contentions are
* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.

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.
