PER CURIAM:

              Jerry    A.    Hurst     appeals      from      the   district          court’s

orders: (1) denying relief on his claims of fraud, conspiracy to

commit fraud, and intentional infliction of emotional distress;

(2) accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

granting      summary       judgment    in       favor     of    State        Farm     Mutual

Automobile      Insurance       Company      on     his       claims     of     breach       of

contract; and (3) denying his motions for reconsideration of

those   orders.         We    have     reviewed         the     record    and        find    no

reversible     error.         Accordingly,         we    deny    Hurst’s       motion       for

transcripts at government expense and affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.                    Hurst v. State Farm Mut. Auto.

Ins. Co., No. 7:05-cv-00776-gec (W.D. Va. filed Mar. 23, 2007

entered March 26, 2007; Aug. 6, 2007; Sept, 26, 2008; filed Nov.

21, 2008 entered Nov. 25, 2008;).                  However, because the district

court addressed the claims on the merits, we modify the district

court’s September 26, 2008 order to reflect that the dismissal

is with prejudice.           We dispense with oral argument because the

facts   and    legal    contentions       are      adequately       presented         in    the

materials     before    the     court     and      argument      would    not        aid    the

decisional process.

                                                                 AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED
