2 PER CURIAM:

Defendant Tyler Johnson appeals the jury verdict finding him liable in tort to

Plaintiffs Thomas and Valerie Figaniak for the death of their decedent, Kevin Figaniak,

and the district court’s order denying Johnson’s posttrial motion for, inter alia, a new trial

and for judgment as a matter of law. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Figaniak v.

Johnson, No. 5:15-cv-00111-FPS (N.D.W. Va. Oct. 20, 2017). We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
