SUSAN J. POOLE
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 2196-09-3 	PER CURIAM
FEBRUARY 16, 2010
VIRGINIA EMPLOYMENT COMMISSION AND
TARGET CORPORATION
FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF AUGUSTA COUNTY
Victor V. Ludwig, Judge
(Susan J. Poole, pro se, on briefs).
(William C. Mims, Attorney General; Elizabeth B. Peay, Assistant
Attorney General; Donald G. Powers, Senior Assistant Attorney
General, on brief), for appellee Virginia Employment Commission.
No brief for appellee Target Corporation.
Susan J. Poole (appellant) appeals the decision by the circuit court affirming a decision
by the Virginia Employment Commission (commission). The commission found that (1) Target
Corporation (employer) followed its internal policies in issuing the appropriate number of
warnings for misconduct prior to terminating appellant for cause; (2) appellant sustained a
reportable injury on April 17, 2008, but failed to report her injury in violation of employer’s
policy; and (3) employer followed proper procedures in conducting appellant’s termination from
employment. We have reviewed the record, the circuit court’s order, 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 Poole v. Target Corp., Commission Decision 85709-C
(Mar. 10, 2009), as affirmed by the circuit court, Poole v. Virginia Employment Comm’n, Case
* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.

- 2 -
No. 15CL09000606-00 (Sept. 1, 2009). 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.
