PER CURIAM:

Mary Lou Button appeals the district court’s order granting 

summary judgment to Chesapeake Appalachia, LLC (“Chesapeake”), 

but denying Chesapeake’s cross-claim, in Button’s civil action 

regarding the tax foreclosure sale of her property. We have 

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, 

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Button 

v. Chumney, No. 1:13-cv-00232-IMK-JSK (N.D. W. Va. June 27, 

2014). Because we affirm the district court’s grant of summary 

judgment, we dismiss as moot Chesapeake’s cross-appeal of the 

same order. 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.

No. 14-1752 AFFIRMED

No. 14-1777 DISMISSED
