PER CURIAM:

             Samuel J. Swiger and Brenda Frazier Swiger appeal the

district court’s order denying their request for attorney’s fees.

We   have    reviewed   the   record    and    find   no    reversible    error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.      See Swiger v. United Valley Ins. Co., No. CA-05-52-1-IMK

(N.D. W. Va. Aug. 8, 2005).       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

                                      - 3 -
