CHRISTOPHER D. GRAY
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 0398-10-2 	PER CURIAM
JULY 27, 2010
COFFEEWOOD CORRECTIONAL CENTER/
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Michael L. Ritchie; Ritchie Law Firm, P.L.C., on brief), for
appellant.
(Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II, Attorney General; Wesley G. Russell, Jr.,
Deputy Attorney General; Peter R. Messitt, Senior Assistant
Attorney General; Scott John Fitzgerald, Senior Assistant Attorney
General, on brief), for appellee.
Christopher D. Gray appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission
finding that Gray did not meet his burden in establishing the causal connection between his low
back injury and the compensable work accident. 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 Gray v. Coffeewood Correctional
Center, VWC File No. 233-13-98 (Feb. 9, 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.
