MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
Eugene Thomas (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission finding his claim for permanent partial disability benefits was barred by the statute of limitations. 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 Thomas v. Virginia International Terminals, VWC File No. 217-40-50 (Apr. 28, 2010). 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.
