Cindy H. Thomasson appeals a decision of the Workers'
Compensation Commission denying her application seeking
compensation for an occupational disease. 	Upon reviewing the
record and the briefs of the parties, we conclude that this
appeal is without merit. 	Accordingly, we summarily affirm the
commission's decision. 	Rule 5A:27.
This appeal is controlled by the Supreme Court's decision in
The Stenrich Group v. Jemmott, ___ Va. ___, ___, ___ S.E.2d ___,
___ (1996) (holding that "job-related impairments resulting from
*Pursuant to Code § 17-116.010 this opinion is not
designated for publication.

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 affirm the commission's decision.
Affirmed.
