Appeal from the Circuit Court for Marion County No. 10116 Thomas W. Graham, Judge

No. M2009-02444-WC-R3-WC - Mailed - January 26, 2011 Filed - April 14, 2011 The employee filed a pro se post-judgment petition alleging that her employer had improperly denied court-ordered medical benefits to her, and she sought damages. Her employer moved to dismiss based upon expiration of the statute of limitations and other grounds. The employee contended that she was incompetent for an extended period of time after the alleged denial of medical care and that the limitation period was therefore tolled. The trial court held that her petition was barred by the statute of limitations and dismissed it. The employee has appealed from this decision. We affirm the judgment.1 Tenn. Code Ann.
