James J. Rixner v. Richmond (City of) Fire Department

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: 	Judges Frank, McClanahan and Senior Judge Willis
JAMES J. RIXNER
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 0931-06-2 	PER CURIAM
AUGUST 15, 2006
RICHMOND (CITY OF) FIRE DEPARTMENT
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Jamie L. Karek; Geoffrey R. McDonald & Associates, P.C., on
brief), for appellant.
(Angela C. Fleming; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C., on brief), for
appellee.
James J. Rixner appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding
that he failed to prove the communication of an occupational disease on August 5, 2003. 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
Rixner v. Richmond (City of) Fire Department, VWC File No. 215-42-36 (Mar. 15, 2006). 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.
