THE ESTATE OF LENORA G. GIERS BY
 ROBERT R. GIERS


              FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION

                 (Lawrence P. Postol; Seyfarth Shaw, LLP, on brief), for appellants.

                 No brief for appellee.


       Francis N. Sanders Nursing Home, Inc. and its insurer (hereinafter referred to as

“employer”) appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission (1) not allowing

employer’s Application for Hearing filed on July 16, 2001 to proceed to adjudication or be

reinstated; (2) rejecting employer’s February 8, 2007 Application for Hearing; and (3) awarding

unpaid temporary total disability benefits to The Estate of Lenora G. Giers. 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 The Estate of Lenora

G. Giers v. Francis N. Sanders Nursing Home, Inc., VWC File No. 200-72-25 (Jan. 30, 2008). 1

We dispense with oral argument and summarily affirm because the facts and legal contentions

application].”
