CATHERINE L. JENKINS
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 2782-04-2 	PER CURIAM
MARCH 22, 2005
ARLINGTON (COUNTY OF) SCHOOL BOARD
AND VIRGINIA MUNICIPAL GROUP
SELF-INSURANCE ASSOCIATION
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Wesley G. Marshall, on brief), for appellant.
(William S. Sands, Jr.; Duncan and Hopkins, P.C., on brief), for
appellees.
Catherine L. Jenkins (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission. Claimant contends the commission erred in (1) finding she failed to prove she
suffered post-concussive syndrome, a head and/or brain injury, depression, chronic fatigue
syndrome, or any back injury as a result of her compensable November 13, 2000 injury by
accident; (2) failing to apply the longstanding rule of interpretation that the opinions of the
treating physicians are entitled to great weight; (3) accepting Dr. Bruce Smoller’s opinion;
(4) finding claimant was not entitled to an award of disability benefits; and (5) finding she failed
to prove she was disabled from July 12, 2001 and continuing as result of her November 13, 2000
compensable injury by accident. We have reviewed the record and the commission’s opinion
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the commission in
its final opinion. See Jenkins v. Arlington (County of) School Bd., VWC File No. 205-69-08
* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.

- 2 -
(Oct. 27, 2004). 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.
