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
