Present:    Judges Benton, Coleman and Willis


LINDA JULIA MILLER

v.   Record No. 0855-95-4                       MEMORANDUM OPINION *
                                                    PER CURIAM
LAUBSCHER, PRESTA & LAUBSCHER                   SEPTEMBER 19, 1995
AND
STATE FARM FIRE & CASUALTY COMPANY


          FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION
              (Robert B. Adams; Ashcraft & Gerel, on brief), for
              appellant.

              (Ruth N. Carter; Midkiff & Hiner, on brief), for
              appellees.



     Linda Julia Miller contends that the Workers' Compensation

Commission erred in suspending her compensation benefits.         Upon

reviewing the record and the briefs of the parties, we conclude

that this appeal is without merit.    Accordingly, we summarily

affirm the commission's decision.    Rule 5A:27.
     On appeal, we view the evidence in the light most favorable

to the employer, the prevailing party below.       R.G. Moore Bldg.

Corp. v. Mullins, 10 Va. App. 211, 212, 390 S.E.2d 788, 788

(1990).    Factual findings made by the commission must be upheld

by this Court if supported by credible evidence.       James v.

Capitol Steel Constr. Co., 8 Va. App. 512, 515, 382 S.E.2d 833,

835 (1989).

     Miller argues that the record contains no credible evidence

that she failed to cooperate with employer's vocational

rehabilitation efforts.   In granting employer's application

seeking to suspend Miller's compensation benefits, the commission

found as follows:
               We do not find that [Miller] cooperated
          with rehabilitation efforts. According to
          the treating physician, Dr. [Khosrow] Matini,
          [Miller] had the ability to perform sedentary
          work, including writing with a pencil,
          pushing buttons, and driving a standard shift
          automobile. Yet [Miller] has portrayed
          herself to potential employers as essentially
          unemployable, thus sabotaging efforts to find
          employment. It appears from the record that
          [Miller] was unwilling to attempt even a
          part-time job allowing her to work on the
          telephone at home scheduling truck pick-ups.

     The commission's findings are supported by Dr. Matini's

medical reports and the testimony of the rehabilitation

consultant, Patricia Wendy Held.       Therefore, those findings are

binding and conclusive upon us on appeal.      Accordingly, we affirm

the commission's decision to suspend benefits until Miller

demonstrates a good faith effort to cooperate with rehabilitation

efforts.

                                   Affirmed.
