On appeal, plaintiffs argue the district court erred in 

determining that (l} the exhibits before the court failed to 

present a material question of fact as to a material 

misrepresentation in the policy application; (2) the evidence 

before it failed to present a material question of fact as to a 

preexisting condition, if in fact that was the court's ruling; and 

(3) the materials and exhibits properly before it failed to 

present a material question of fact as to defendant's bad faith in 

denying plaintiffs' claim. 

After consideration of the briefs- and record on appeal, we 

conclude the district court correctly granted summary judgment in 

favor of defendant . 

The judgment of the United States District Court for the 

Western District of Oklahoma is AFFIRMED for substantially the 

reasons stated by ·the district court in its order filed August 7, 

1987 .
