PER CURIAM:

      Donna Pugh sued the AIG Life Insurance Company (AIG) seeking

benefits under her employer’s Permanent Total Disability insurance

benefits plan, which is governed by the Employee Retirement Income

Security Act of 1974, as amended.           Pugh appeals from the orders

denying her motion for a jury trial, granting summary judgment to

AIG, and dismissing her action.           We have reviewed the record and

the   district   court’s   opinions   and     find   no   reversible   error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Pugh v. AIG Life Ins. Co., No. CA-96-135-6 (M.D.N.C. Sept. 11,

1998; Oct. 13 & 16, 1998).     We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                                   AFFIRMED
