2 PER CURIAM:

James and Tabitha Moseley appeal the district court’s order granting summary

judgment to United Property & Casualty Insurance Co. (“UPC”) and declaring that UPC

was not obligated to provide coverage for their daughter’s injury from a bite by a Bull

Mastiff owned by Jeffrey and Jill Surprenant. The Moseleys challenge the district court’s

decision in three respects, asserting: (1) the Surprenants did not make a material

misrepresentation in their application for homeowners insurance; (2) even if they did, UPC

waived this misrepresentation through its agent; and (3) even if UPC did not waive this

through its agent, it did so by consistently renewing the Surprenants’ insurance. We have

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

stated by the district court. United Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co. v. Surprenant., No. 7:17-cv-

00096-FL (E.D.N.C. Sept. 27, 2018). 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
