COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA Present: Judges Frank, McClanahan and Senior Judge Willis WENDELL TROUT GRISSOM v. Record No. 1073-07-1 MEMORANDUM OPINION* 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. * 1 Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication. 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).
