James B. Lees, Jr., HUNT & LEES, L.C., Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellant. Larry R. Seegull, DLA PIPER RUDNICK GRAY CARY, U.S., L.L.P., Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Robert L. Ayers appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment in favor of Marsh & McLennan Companies,

Inc., in Ayers’ breach of contract action. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court. See Ayers v. Marsh &

McLennan Cos., Inc., No. CA-03-2239-2 (S.D. W. Va. Dec. 30, 2004).

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
