PER CURIAM:

      B. Diane Tamariz-Wallace appeals from the district court’s

order denying her motion to reopen the lawsuit between her and

Nationwide      Mutual   Insurance    Co.,   which     was   administratively

closed after Tamariz-Wallace filed her petition for relief in

bankruptcy.      We have reviewed the parties’ briefs and the record

on appeal and find no reversible error.               Accordingly, we affirm

the district court’s order.            See Providence Hall Assoc. Ltd.

P’ship v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 816 F.3d 273 (4th Cir. 2016).

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
