PER CURIAM:

   Appellants appeal from the district court's order granting sum-

mary judgment to the Defendants on their action claiming that Union

Carbide Corporation wrongfully denied long term disability benefits

to Charles Whittington. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Whittington v. Union
Carbide Corp., No. CA-94-526 (S.D.W. Va. June 6, 1995). 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.
