Frank Pregano v. United Airlines, Inc.

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: 	Judges Haley, Millette and Senior Judge Coleman
FRANK PREGANO
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 2462-07-4 	PER CURIAM
MARCH 4, 2008
UNITED AIRLINES, INC.
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Kathleen G. Walsh, on brief), for appellant.
(Michael N. Salveson; Littler Mendelson, on brief), for appellee.
Frank Pregano appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding
that he failed to prove under Code § 65.2-401 that he sustained a compensable permanent
hearing loss in his left ear by clear and convincing evidence. 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 Pregano v. United Airlines, Inc.,
VWC File No. 226-29-38 (Sept. 17, 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.
