Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Athalia Crayton appeals the district court’s orders and judgment concluding that her

sister was the proper beneficiary of the proceeds from her mother’s life insurance policy,

and denying Crayton’s motion for amended and additional findings of fact under Fed. R.

Civ. P. 52(b), or alternatively a new trial under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(a), (b). We have

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

stated by the district court. N.Y. Life Ins. Co. v. Crayton, No. 1:17-cv-00593-TDS-JLW

(M.D.N.C. Jan. 15, 2019; June 19, 2019). We also deny Crayton’s motion for a transcript

at Government expense. 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
