    No. 99-56637.
    D.C. No. CV-98-01884-CM.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Argued and Submitted April 4, 2001.
    Decided May 3, 2001.
    Before HUG, and DUHÉ, and RICHARD C. TALLMAN, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       The Honorable John M. Duhé Jr., Senior Circuit Judge for the Fifth Circuit, sitting by designation.
    
   MEMORANDUM

This case concerns whether an employer, Tri-County Drilling, Inc., properly paid to employee benefit plans benefits due under agreements pertaining to its work as a sub contractor on the Domenigoni Valley Reservoir Project. The district court, in a thorough and well-reasoned opinion, determined that Tri-County’s payments were not proper and granted summary judgment in favor of American Benefit Plan Administrators, Inc. Tri-County appeals. The dispute centers around the meaning of the agreements, particularly the Project Labor Agreement.

We have carefully reviewed the record and considered the briefs and argument of counsel and find no issue of material fact nor reversible error by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm essentially for the reasons given by the district court.

AFFIRMED.
