COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: Chief Judge Moon, Senior Judges Cole and Duff
LINDA LEE SMITH
MEMORANDUM OPINION *
v. Record No. 1023-96-4 PER CURIAM
OCTOBER 1, 1996
ALEXANDRIA METAL FINISHERS, INC.
AND
ASSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(J. Burkehardt Beale; Lella Amiss E. Pape;
Boone, Beale, Carpenter & Cosby, on brief),
for appellant.
(William S. Sands, Jr.; Duncan and Hopkins,
on brief), for appellees.
Linda Lee Smith appeals a decision of the Workers'
Compensation Commission denying her application seeking
compensation for an occupational disease. 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.
This appeal is controlled by the Supreme Court's decision in
Stenrich Group v. Jemmott, 251 Va. 186, 199, 467 S.E.2d 795, 802
(1996) (holding that "job-related impairments resulting from
cumulative trauma caused by repetitive motion, however labeled or
however defined, are, as a matter of law, not compensable under
the present provisions of the Act").
*
Pursuant to Code § 17-116.010 this opinion is not
designated for publication.
Accordingly, we affirm the commission's decision.
Affirmed.
