        PER CURIAM:

              Plaintiffs, which are all Virginia corporations, appeal the district court’s order

        granting Illinois Union Insurance Company (“Illinois Union”) summary judgment and

        denying Plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment on Plaintiffs’ claims for

        declaratory judgment and bad faith breach of contract. Plaintiffs’ claims were based on

        Illinois Union’s denial of insurance benefits Plaintiffs assert Illinois Union owed them to

        cover losses they sustained during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have reviewed the record

        and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See Cent.

        Laundry, LLC v. Ill. Union Ins. Co., No. 1:20-cv-01273-RDA-TCB (E.D. Va. Jan. 5, 2022).

        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

                                                    2
