    MEMORANDUM OPINION *
    v.     Record No. 2028-12-1                                              PER CURIAM
    MARCH 5, 2013
    MARY BEATRICE PHILLIPS
    FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
    (Matthew J. Griffin; Angela F. Gibbs; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C.,
    on brief), for appellants.
    (Steven M. Legum; Goldblatt, Cohen & Legum, P.C., on brief), for
    appellee.
    Rent A Center, Inc. and its insurer (hereinafter employer) appeal a decision of the
    Workers’ Compensation Commission (the commission) finding the claim of Mary Beatrice
    Phillips (claimant) was not barred by the statute of limitations and finding the claimant’s rights
    with respect to the filing of a claim were prejudiced by employer’s failure to timely file a first
    report of accident with the commission. 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 Phillips v. Rent A Center, Inc., VWC File No. JCN
    241-66-69 (Oct. 16, 2012). 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.

    Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
