DECEMBER 5, 1995 AND GLOBE INDEMNITY COMPANY FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Robert L. Flax; Flax, Embrey & Stout, on brief), for appellant. (Richard D. Lucas; Woods, Rogers & Hazlegrove, on brief), for appellees. David F. White ("claimant") contends that the Workers' Compensation Commission erred in finding he failed to prove that his April 25, 1994 arthroscopic shoulder surgery and resulting disability were causally related to his compensable May 28, 1982 injury by accident. The commission also found that claimant's July 5, 1994 change in condition application was barred by the twenty-four month limitations period contained in Code § 65.2-708. A review of the record and the briefs of the parties reveals that White failed to appeal the limitations finding. Therefore, it is binding and conclusive upon us on appeal, and is dispositive of this appeal. Accordingly, we summarily affirm the commission's decision. Rule 5A:27.
