PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting summary

judgment to Plaintiff on its action for declaratory judgment. 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. Government Employees Ins. Co. v. Medley, No. CA-96-
964-R (W.D. Va. Jan. 14, 1998). 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 deci-
sional process.
