*1 COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA Present: Judges Humphreys, O’Brien and Senior Judge Bumgardner v. NEW TECH, LLC AND EDWIN RUDOLFO ROMERO MEDRANO Record No. 0154-17-3 ^[*] MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM MAY 16, 2017 ERIE INSURANCE EXCHANGE

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (J. William Snyder, Jr.; The Law Offices of Will Snyder, P.L.L.C., on brief), for appellant.

(Richard D. Lucas; Lucas & Kite, PLC, on brief), for appellees. Edwin Rudolfo Romero Medrano appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission (“the Commission”) finding that he was not entitled to workers’ compensation benefits because he was not the direct employee of New Tech, LLC. 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 Medrano v. New Tech, LLC, JCN No. VA02000023023 (Va. Wrk. Comp. Dec. 28, 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.
