v. 	Record No. 1172-05-3 	PER CURIAM
SEPTEMBER 13, 2005
THE GOODYEAR TIRE AND RUBBER COMPANY
AND LIBERTY INSURANCE COMPANY
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Stephen G. Bass; Carter Craig, on brief), for appellant.
(Janine M. Jacob; James A. L. Daniel; Daniel, Vaughan, Medley &
Smitherman, P.C., on brief), for appellees.
Frederick Douglas Wilson (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission denying his Claim for Benefits. Claimant contends the commission erred in
(1) reversing the deputy commissioner’s finding as to claimant’s credibility, the occurrence of an
injury by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment on November 7, 2003, and

disability; and (2) refusing to admit into the record certain disability slips tendered on behalf of
claimant post-hearing. We have reviewed the record and the commission’s opinion and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the commission in its final
opinion. See Wilson v. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, VWC File No. 216-57-91
(April 13, 2005). We dispense with oral argument and summarily affirm because the facts and
