REVA BEDWELL
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 0632-07-2 	PER CURIAM
SEPTEMER 11, 2007
VIRGINIA RETIREMENT SYSTEM
FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF GOOCHLAND COUNTY
Timothy K. Sanner, Judge
(Charles W. Peraino; Law Offices of White and Associates, on
briefs), for appellant.
(Robert F. McDonnell, Attorney General; Brian J. Goodman, Legal
Affairs & Compliance Coordinator, on brief), for appellee.
Reva Bedwell appeals a decision of the Circuit Court of Goochland County affirming the
final case decision of the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) denying Bedwell’s claim for
disability retirement benefits. Bedwell contends the circuit court erred in concluding that
substantial evidence existed in the record to support VRS’s final case decision, and in applying
Code § 51.1-156(E)(ii). We have reviewed the record, VRS’s final case decision, and the final
decision of the circuit court, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
fully set forth by the circuit court in its final opinion letter. See Bedwell v. Virginia Retirement
System, Case No. CL06-46 (Jan. 31, 2007). 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.
