COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

Present: Chief Judge Moon, Senior Judges Cole and Duff

SNYDERGENERAL CORPORATION
AND
TRANSPORTATION INSURANCE COMPANY

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Vv. Record No. 2167-95-3 PER CURIAM

MARCH 19, 1996
GERALD W. JOHNSON

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS '
COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(J. Brian Jackson; Patricia C. Karppi;
McGuire, Woods, Battle & Boothe, on brief),

for appellants.

(George L. Townsend; Chandler, Franklin &
O'Bryan, on brief), for appellee.

Syndergeneral Corporation and its insurer contend that the
Workers' Compensation Commission erred in finding that Gerald W.
Johnson's bilateral tendinitis and lateral and medial humeral
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. , 1 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").

"Pursuant to Code § 17-116.010 this opinion is not
designated for publication.

Accordingly, we reverse the commission's decision.

Reversed.
