See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

action challenging the final decision of the Trustees of the United

Mine Workers of America denying his claim for pension benefits. 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. Boyd v. Holland, No. CA-94-264-B (W.D. Va. Apr. 1,
1996). 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
