        PER CURIAM:

               SSC Seneca Operating Company LLC, SavaSeniorCare Administrative Services,

        LLC, and SavaSeniorCare Consulting, LLC, appeal from the district court’s order denying

        the motion to dismiss and to compel arbitration of Tammy Fowler’s civil action against

        them filed in her capacity as the personal representative of the Estate of Ralph Owens, and

        denying the motions to stay proceedings in the district court pending resolution of the

        motion to compel arbitration. We have reviewed the record on appeal and the arguments

        of the parties, and we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

        stated by the district court. Fowler v. SSC Seneca Operating Co. LLC, No. 8:21-cv-00430-

        HMH (D.S.C. Apr. 16, 2021). 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

                                                    3
