*1 COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

Present: Judges Decker, Malveaux and Senior Judge Annunziata

KARA NATONIA THOMAS v. LM INSURANCE CORPORATION HALLMARK SYSTEMS, INC. AND Record No. 0918-16-2 MEMORANDUM OPINION ^[*] OCTOBER 11, 2016 PER CURIAM FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Brody Reid; ReidGoodwin, PLC, on brief), for appellant.

(Imie Aisiku Harber; Law Offices of Christopher R. Costabile, on brief), for appellees.

Kara Natonia Thomas (appellant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission. She alleges the Commission erred in its application of the burden of proof to her impairment rating claim and in denying her claim for permanent partial disability. 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 opinion. See Thomas v. Hallmark Sys., Inc., JCN VA00000868783 (Va. Wrk. Comp. May 5, 2016). 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.
