COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: 	Judges Humphreys, McCullough and Retired Judge Hodges
MISCHELLE BROWN-MAYO
MEMORANDUM OPINION
v. 	Record No. 1084-13-2 	PER CURIAM
OCTOBER 8, 2013
COUNTY OF CHESTERFIELD
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Mischelle Brown-Mayo, pro se, on brief).
(David W. Robinson, Senior Assistant County Attorney, on brief),
for appellee.
Mischelle Brown-Mayo (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission affirming the termination of an award of wage loss benefits on the ground that
claimant’s current disability is unrelated to the compensable accident. Claimant contends the
commission erred by (1) discounting the opinion of her treating physician, (2) giving “undue
weight to the ‘objective findings,’” (3) concluding the record demonstrated she was receiving
treatment for back pain shortly before her compensable accident, and (4) failing to “take into
consideration” her testimony describing her symptoms and 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 Brown-Mayo v. Chesterfield Cnty., JCN VA00000218265 (May 23, 2013). We
 Retired Judge Hodges took part in the consideration of this case by designation pursuant

process. See Code § 17.1-403; Rule 5A:27.
