PER CURIAM:

       Sheena      Hunt    appeals    the    district     court’s          order    granting

summary judgment in favor of Brooks Run Mining Company in Hunt’s

action under W. Va. Code Ann. § 23-4-2 (LexisNexis 2010). *                                  We

have reviewed the parties’ briefs and the record on appeal and

find       no    reversible     error.       Accordingly,           we    affirm    for    the

reasons stated by the district court.                    Hunt v. Brooks Run Mining

Co.,       No.    1:13-cv-00433      (S.D.    W.   Va.    Sept.          30,     2014).      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

       *
       The statute recently was amended. See 2015 W. Va. Legis.
Serv. 243.   We applied the prior version of the statute to the
facts of this case.
