MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 0177-04-1 	PER CURIAM
MAY 18, 2004
JOYCE ELAINE ELLIOTT
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Deborah B. Vaughn; George J. Dancigers; McKenry, Dancigers,
Warner, Dawson & Lake, P.C., on briefs), for appellants.
(Anthony L. Montagna, Jr.; Montagna & Montagna, P.C., on brief),
for appellee.
Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital and its insurer appeal a decision of the Workers’
Compensation Commission awarding benefits to Joyce Elaine Elliott (claimant), and finding that
claimant proved that she sustained an injury by accident arising out of her employment on
October 29, 2002. 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 Elliott v. Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital, VWC File No. 212-24-12 (Dec.
30, 2003). 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.
* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.

Claimant’s request before this Court for an award of additional attorney’s fees and costs
is denied.
Affirmed.
