PER CURIAM:

Darryl Allmond appeals the district court’s order granting

Defendants’ motions to dismiss. 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. See

Allmond v. Royal Ins. Co. of America, No. CA-01-1468 (E.D. Va.

filed Dec. 7, 2001; entered Dec. 11, 2001). 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
