PER CURIAM:

Encompass Indemnity Company filed this declaratory judgment 

action seeking an order declaring that the Estate of George 

Joseph Jacobs, Jr., was not entitled to recovery under any 

provisions of an insurance policy issued by Encompass. We have 

reviewed the record included on appeal as well as the parties’ 

briefs and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for 

the reasons stated by the district court. Encompass Indemnity 

Co. v. Jacobs, No. 2:13-cv-05327 (S.D.W. Va. Aug. 15, 2014). We 

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal 

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before 

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
