Cleve Curry v. Consol Energy, Inc.

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: 	Judges Elder, Clements and Senior Judge Annunziata
CLEVE CURRY
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 1150-06-3 	PER CURIAM
SEPTEMBER 5, 2006
CONSOL ENERGY, INC.
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Karel Brown Ryan, on brief), for appellant.
(John R. Sigmond; Penn, Stuart & Eskridge, on brief), for appellee.
Cleve Curry appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding that
he (1) specifically declined to allege his post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as an injury by
accident; and (2) failed to prove that his PTSD constituted a compensable occupational disease.
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
Curry v. Consol Energy, Inc., VWC File No. 221-79-72 (April 5, 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.
