FAIRFAX COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD
FAIRFAX COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD 	MEMORANDUM OPINION *
PER CURIAM
v. 	Record No. 0694-04-4 	AUGUST 3, 2004
FRANCES SHEEHAN NARKIEWICZ
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Julie H. Heiden; Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis &
Lightfoot, on briefs), for Frances Sheehan Narkiewicz.
(Michael N. Salveson; Hunton & Williams, LLP, on briefs), for
Fairfax County School Board.
* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
The Workers’ Compensation Commission ruled that Frances S. Narkiewicz “remains
totally disabled due to her causally related psychiatric condition.” Narkiewicz contends the
commission erred in finding that she failed to prove that the aggravation of her pre-existing
essential tremor was causally related to her injury by accident. Fairfax County School Board
appeals the commission’s finding that Narkiewicz’s psychiatric condition was causally related to
her injury by accident. We have reviewed the record and the commission’s opinion and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, for the reasons stated by the commission in its final opinion, we
affirm the commission’s award reinstating Narkiewicz’s temporary total disability benefits. See
Narkiewicz v. Fairfax (County of) School Bd., VWC File No. 208-16-97 (Feb. 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.
