MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pursuant to Code § 17-116.010 this opinion is not designated for publication.


Cindy H. Thomasson 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 inThe Stenrich Group v. Jemmott, ___ Va. ___, ___, ___ S.E.2d ___, ___ (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").

Accordingly, we affirm the commission's decision.

Affirmed.
