MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 2419-10-4 	PER CURIAM
JUNE 21, 2011
VIRGINIA EMPLOYMENT COMMISSION AND
DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY
FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF FAIRFAX COUNTY
Jonathan C. Thacher, Judge
(Tamorah Chapman, pro se, on brief).
(Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II, Attorney General; Elizabeth B. Peay,
Assistant Attorney General, on brief), for appellee Virginia
Employment Commission.
Tamorah Chapman appeals a decision of the circuit court affirming a decision by the
Virginia Employment Commission (the Commission) denying her unemployment benefits due to
misconduct connected with work. We have reviewed the record, the circuit court’s order, and
the Commission’s opinion and find that this appeal is without merit.1 Accordingly, we affirm for
the reasons stated by the Commission in its final opinion, see In the matter of: Chapman v.
Department of the Treasury, Commission Decision No. 90709-C (June 30, 2010), as affirmed by
the circuit court, see Chapman v. Virginia Emp’t Comm’n, Case No. CL-2010-0010194 (Oct. 15,
2010). We dispense with oral argument and summarily affirm because the facts and legal
* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
1 In rendering this decision, we do not consider the fourth, sixth, and eleventh
assignments of error. Rule 5A:18 bars our consideration of the fourth and sixth assignments of
error because Chapman did not raise these issues before the circuit court. Although Chapman
listed the eleventh assignment of error in her opening brief, she does not include any argument
on this issue, as required by Rule 5A:20.

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.
