PER CURIAM Affirmed.

450 Wiltshire v. Farmers Ins. Co. PER CURIAM Plaintiff assigns error to the trial court’s denial of his claim for attorney fees arising out of a negligence action against defendant Farmers Insurance Company of Oregon.

Plaintiff’s assignment is foreclosed by Goddard v. Farmers Ins. Co., 177 Or App 621, 33 P3d 1075 (2001) (holding that ORS 742.061 does not authorize attorney fees related to a tort claim against an insurer), and we reject it without fur- ther discussion. We reject plaintiff’s remaining assignments of error.

Affirmed.
