Eugene Thomas v. Virginia International Terminals and Continental Casualty Company ( 2010 )

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: Chief Judge Felton, Judge Petty and Senior Judge Bumgardner
EUGENE THOMAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION *
v. Record No. 1078-10-1 PER CURIAM
SEPTEMBER 28, 2010
VIRGINIA INTERNATIONAL TERMINALS AND
CONTINENTAL CASUALTY COMPANY
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Robert E. Walsh; Rutter Mills, LLP, on briefs), for appellant.
(R. John Barrett; Lisa L. Thatch; Vandeventer Black LLP, on brief),
for appellees.
Eugene Thomas (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission finding his claim for permanent partial disability benefits was barred by the statute
of limitations. 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 Thomas v. Virginia International Terminals, VWC File No. 217-40-50
(Apr. 28, 2010). 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.
