Reva Bedwell v. Virginia Retirement System ( 2007 )

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA Present: Judges Humphreys, Beales and Senior Judge Fitzpatrick REVA BEDWELL MEMORANDUM OPINION* v. Record No. 0632-07-2 PER CURIAM SEPTEMER 11, 2007 VIRGINIA RETIREMENT SYSTEM FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF GOOCHLAND COUNTY Timothy K. Sanner, Judge (Charles W. Peraino; Law Offices of White and Associates, on briefs), for appellant. (Robert F. McDonnell, Attorney General; Brian J. Goodman, Legal Affairs & Compliance Coordinator, on brief), for appellee. Reva Bedwell appeals a decision of the Circuit Court of Goochland County affirming the final case decision of the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) denying Bedwell’s claim for disability retirement benefits. Bedwell contends the circuit court erred in concluding that substantial evidence existed in the record to support VRS’s final case decision, and in applying Code § 51.1-156(E)(ii). We have reviewed the record, VRS’s final case decision, and the final decision of the circuit court, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons fully set forth by the circuit court in its final opinion letter. See Bedwell v. Virginia Retirement System, Case No. CL06-46 (Jan. 31, 2007). 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.
