MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 1206-10-1 	PER CURIAM
OCTOBER 12, 2010
ST. BRIDES CORRECTIONAL CENTER/
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Paulette D. Franklin-Jenkins; Eric O. Moody & Associates, on
brief), for appellant.
(Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II, Attorney General; Wesley G. Russell, Jr.,
Deputy Attorney General; Peter R. Messitt, Senior Assistant
Attorney General; Cheryl A. Wilkerson, Senior Assistant Attorney
General; Adam L. Katz, Assistant Attorney General, on brief), for
appellee.
Mark T. Jenkins (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission finding (1) pinguecula and conjunctivochalasia were not compensable as ordinary
diseases of life or occupational diseases because they resulted from cumulative exposure to
ultraviolet exposure; and (2) appellant began cutting grass on Saturdays at noon. Claimant also
asserts the commission erred in its understanding of his work on “inside grounds.” Finally,
claimant asserts the commission erred in failing to consider a “tip card” and fact sheets produced
by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as official government
documents to help establish his disability. 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 Jenkins v. Saint Brides Correctional Center, VWC
* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.

File No. 240-68-71 (May 5, 2010). 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.
