PER CURIAM:

           Beverly S. Gray appeals the district court’s orders

dismissing her claims of negligence and deliberate intent under

the West Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act, W. Va. Code § 23-4-

2 (Lexis Nexis 2005), for failure to state a claim, and denying

her subsequent motion for reconsideration.               We have reviewed the

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

the   reasons   stated    by   the   district   court.      Gray     v.   Hawkeye

Contracting Co., No. 2:10-cv-01056 (S.D. W. Va. Nov. 9, 2010 &

Mar. 7, 2011).     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
