PER CURIAM 
                                                     June 7, 1996 
 
CITY OF ALEXANDRIA 
 
 
 
FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA 
 
We awarded an appeal in this case to review a judgment of 
the Court of Appeals of Virginia which held that an employee's 
workers' compensation claim is barred by the two-year statute of 
limitations contained in Code § 65.2-406(A)(5) because the 
employee became aware more than two years before his death and 
before his estate filed a claim with the Workers' Compensation 
Commission for death benefits that he suffered from an 
occupational disease.  City of Alexandria v. Cronin, 20 Va. App. 
503, 458 S.E.2d 314 (1995). 
 
For the reasons stated in the opinion of the Court of 
Appeals, we will affirm the judgment entered below. 
 
 
Affirmed.
