COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA Present: Chief Judge Moon, Senior Judges Cole and Duff AMERICAN SAFETY RAZOR COMPANY AND EMPLOYERS INSURANCE COMPANY OF WAUSAU v. MEMORANDUM OPINION * PER CURIAM MARCH 19, 1996 Record No. 2430-95-3 SHERYL NESTER GREEN COMPENSATION COMMISSION FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS' (Cathleen P. Welsh; Wharton, Aldhizer & Weaver, on brief), for appellants. (A. Thomas Lane, Jr., on brief), for appellee. American Safety Razor Company and its insurer contend that the Workers' Compensation Commission erred in finding that Sheryl N. Green's bilateral de Quervain's tendinitis and bilateral epicondylitis qualify as compensable occupational diseases within the meaning of "disease" under the Workers' Compensation Act ("the Act"). This appeal is controlled by the Supreme Court's decision in 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 reverse the commission's decision. * Pursuant to Code ยง 17-116.010 this opinion is not designated for publication. Reversed. 2
