COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: 	Judges Frank, McClanahan and Senior Judge Willis
WENDELL TROUT GRISSOM
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 1073-07-1 	PER CURIAM
OCTOBER 9, 2007
NORFOLK SHIPBUILDING AND
DRYDOCK CORPORATION
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Matthew H. Kraft; Rutter Mills, L.L.P., on brief), for appellant.
(Gerard E. W. Voyer; Brandy H. Peeples; Taylor & Walker, P.C., on
brief), for appellee.
Wendell Trout Grissom (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission finding that his claim for benefits for asbestosis, filed on December 19, 2003, was
barred by the applicable statute of limitations.1 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 Grissom v. Norfolk Shipbuilding &
Drydock Corp., VWC File No. 216-98-95 (April 4, 2007). 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.
* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
1 We have not addressed claimant’s arguments labeled (C), (D), and (E), as those issues
were not included in the Question Presented. See Cirrito v. Cirrito, 44 Va. App. 287, 309, 605
S.E.2d 268, 278 (2004).
