Donna Pugh, Appellant Pro Se. Joseph W. Moss, Matthew L. Mason, MOSS & MASON, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Donna Pugh sued the AIG Life Insurance Company (AIG) seeking benefits under her employer’s Permanent Total Disability insurance benefits plan, which is governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Pugh appeals from the orders denying her motion for a jury trial, granting summary judgment to AIG, and dismissing her action. 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. See Pugh v. AIG Life Ins. Co., No. CA-96-135-6 (M.D.N.C. Sept. 11, 1998; Oct. 13 & 16, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma- terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
