DAN RIVER, INC.
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 0378-04-3 	PER CURIAM
JUNE 22, 2004
CALVIN K. ALDERSON
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(James A.L. Daniel; Janine M. Jacob; Daniel, Vaughan, Medley &
Smitherman, P.C., on briefs), for appellant.
(Robert L. Morrison, Jr.; Williams, Morrison, Light & Moreau, on
brief), for appellee.
Dan River, Inc. (employer) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission holding employer responsible for certain medical expenses incurred by Calvin K.
Alderson (claimant) in October and November 2002, based upon its finding that claimant proved
that such treatment was causally related to his November 26, 1999 compensable back injury. We
have reviewed the record and the commission’s opinion and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the commission in its final opinion. See
Alderson v. Dan River, Inc., VWC File No. 200-17-09 (Jan. 15, 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.
