Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Daniel Lewis Compel appeals the district court’s order grant-

ing summary judgment to Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company.

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 as stated from the bench.      See Compel v.

Reliance Standard Life Ins. Co., No. CA-99-149-A (E.D. Va. Mar. 6,

2000).   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
