Denise v. Siegfeldt v. Virginia Employment Comm ( 1996 )

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: Judges Baker, Willis and Overton
Argued at Norfolk, Virginia
DENISE V. SIEGFELDT
MEMORANDUM OPINION * BY
v. Record No. 2270-95-1 JUDGE NELSON T. OVERTON
JUNE 11, 1996
VIRGINIA EMPLOYMENT COMMISSION
FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE CITY OF HAMPTON
Walter J. Ford, Judge
Denise V. Siegfeldt, pro se.
Cheryl A. Wilkerson, Assistant Attorney
General (James S. Gilmore, III, Attorney
General; Lisa J. Rowley, Assistant Attorney
General, on brief), for appellee.
Denise V. Siegfeldt petitioned for a judicial review of a
decision from the Virginia Employment Commission. Because her
petition did not name a party required by the statute and was not
served within a reasonable time, the circuit court dismissed the
petition. Siegfeldt appeals from this order. We affirm.
"When the legislature has prescribed limitations within
which the right of appeal may be exercised, such limitations are
exclusive, and the court cannot modify or enlarge them without
express statutory authority." Blankenship v. Virginia
Unemployment Compensation Comm'n, 177 Va. 250, 254, 13 S.E.2d
409, 411 (1941). Upon review of the record, we find no
reversible error in the circuit court judge's ruling.

Pursuant to Code § 17-116.010 this opinion is not

Affirmed.
