PER CURIAM:
This case is an appeal from summary judgment in favor of the defendant-appellee. The district court held that West Virginia's recreational use statute, W.Va.Code Ann. § 19-25-2 (1993), in conjunction with the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2671 et seq., shields the United States from liability under the facts of the case. For the reasons stated by the district court, the judgment is in all respects affirmed.
AFFIRMED
