RAYMOND GARNETT BATES
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 1543-06-2 	PER CURIAM
NOVEMBER 7, 2006
MOLINS RICHMOND, INC. AND
INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE STATE
OF PENNSYLVANIA
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Jamie L. Karek; Geoffrey R. McDonald & Associates, P.C., on
brief), for appellant.
(S. Vernon Priddy III; Paul W. Emigholz; Nancy J. Wan; Sands
Anderson Marks & Miller, on brief), for appellees.
Raymond Garnett Bates (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation
Commission finding that his claim was barred by the statute of limitations. Claimant argues the
commission erred in failing to apply the doctrine of imposition to save his claim.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 Bates
v. Molins Richmond, Inc., VWC File No. 201-16-16 (May 23, 2006). We dispense with oral
argument and summarily affirm because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication.
1 Because claimant limited his argument on appeal to the issue of imposition, that is the
only issue we consider.
