COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: 	Judges Benton, Humphreys and Senior Judge Overton
ONDEO DEGREMONT, INC. AND
AMERICAN & FOREIGN INSURANCE
COMPANY
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 1261-04-2 	PER CURIAM
OCTOBER 26, 2004
DANIEL S. ROMAN
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Lisa Frisina Clement; Penn, Stuart & Eskridge, on briefs), for
appellants.
(Christopher C. Booberg; Thorsen & Scher L.L.P., on brief), for
appellee.
Ondeo Degremont, Inc. and its insurer appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission, which ruled that Daniel S. Roman sustained his burden of proving a compensable
occupational disease, Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, arising out of and in the course of his
employment. 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
award. See Roman v. Ondeo Degremont, Inc., VWC File No. 210-82-59 (May 4, 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. 1
Affirmed.
* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
1 In rendering our decision, we grant employer’s Motion to Admit Exhibits B, C, and D
into the record on appeal, and deny claimant’s Motion to Strike Questions to Be Presented.
