PER CURIAM: Edward F. Hodges appeals the district court's order granting the Defendant's motion for summary judgment in Hodges' civil suit.

We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Hodges v. Trigon Ins. Co., No. CA-97-583-3 (E.D. Va. Nov. 6, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
