COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

Present: Judges Frank, Clements and Haley

CYNTHIA M. WILLIAMS MEMORANDUM OPINION* v. Record No. 2851-05-1 PER CURIAM MAY 9, 2006 PORTSMOUTH REDEVELOPMENT & HOUSING AUTHORITY AND VIRGINIA MUNICIPAL GROUP SELF-INSURANCE ASSOCIATION

FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Cynthia M. Williams, pro se, on brief).

(Robert A. Rapaport; Kira A. Ligato; Clarke, Dolph, Rapaport, Hardy & Hull, P.L.C., on brief), for appellees.

Cynthia M. Williams (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding that her claim, filed on August 20, 2004 seeking temporary total disability benefits beginning March 8, 2004, was barred by Code § 65.2-708, because she suffered no additional disability within two years from July 23, 2001, the date for which benefits were last paid. 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 Williams v. Portsmouth Redevelopment & Housing Authority, et al., VWC File No. 181-60-97 (Sept. 27, 2005). We dispense with oral argument and summarily affirm because

* Pursuant to Code § 17.1-413, this opinion is not designated for publication. 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:27.1 Affirmed.

In summarily affirming the commission’s decision, we have considered only the evidence that was properly before the commission when it rendered its decision. In addition, we have not considered any issues raised in claimant’s brief that were not raised before the commission on review. See Rule 5A:18. -2-
