PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district court's order affirming the denial of his request for disability retirement benefits from the United Mine Workers of America 1974 Pension Trust. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Deel v. Holland, No. CA-94-37-A (W.D. Va. Feb. 6, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
