Paige L. Thornton v. Philip Morris USA and American Protection Insurance Company

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: 	Chief Judge Fitzpatrick, Judges Frank and Clements
PAIGE L. THORNTON
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 0165-04-2 	PER CURIAM
MAY 25, 2004
PHILIP MORRIS USA AND
AMERICAN PROTECTION
INSURANCE COMPANY
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Gregory O. Harbison; Geoffrey R. McDonald & Associates, P.C.,
on brief), for appellant.
(Thomas J. Mitchell; Hunton & Williams LLP, on brief), for
appellees.
Paige L. Thornton appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission
denying her Claim for Benefits, and finding that she failed to prove she sustained an injury by
accident arising out of her employment on September 10, 2002. 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 Thornton v. Philip Morris USA, VWC
File No. 211-48-82 (Dec. 22, 2003). 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.
