v.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

                                                 Defendant - Appellee


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Western District of Louisiana
                             USDC No. 3:17-CV-1486


Before CLEMENT, ELROD, and OLDHAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Plaintiffs appeal the entry of summary judgment in this insurance-
coverage dispute. The district court had subject-matter jurisdiction because
the defendant properly removed the case under 28 U.S.C. § 1441. The court
held plaintiffs are not entitled to life-insurance benefits because the policy
owner stopped paying the premiums fifteen years before he died. After
carefully considering the eight issues raised in the plaintiffs’ briefs, the record,


       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

                              No. 19-30443
and the applicable law, we agree with the district court. Its judgment is
AFFIRMED.
