Henry C. Bias, Jr., Deputy Attorney General, for respondent.

Opinion:
RULEY, JUDGE:
On August 27, 1979, the claimant filed a notice of claim seeking recovery of $656.04 which it is alleged was earned by her husband, a professor of Sociology at West Liberty State College, during the last month of his employment before his death on October 30,1964. The respondent filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
Since the longest period of limitations which could apply to this claim is ten years and since West Virginia Code §14-2-21, provides, in part:
<<:{: # *
The court shall not take jurisdiction of any claim, whether accruing before or after the effective date of this article [July 1, 1967], unless notice of such claim be filed with the clerk within such period of limitation as would be applicable under the pertinent provisions of the Code of West Virginia,
it is clear that the Court has no jurisdiction of this claim and it must be dismissed.
Claim dismissed.
