                            (Opinion filed: October 17, 2005)

                                        OPINION

McKEE, Circuit Judge.

       Jason Schultz was injured in an automobile accident and sought a declaratory

judgment that he is covered under an automobile insurance policy Encompass Insurance

issued to his grandparents, Loretta and Paul V. Schultz. Following a non-jury trial, the

district court found that Schultz is not covered by the policy because he was not a resident

of his grandparents’ household at the time of the accident, as required by the terms of the

                                             1
policy. Accordingly, the district court entered judgment in favor of Encompass, and this

appeal followed, and we will affirm.

       Inasmuch as the district court has set forth the factual and procedural history of

this case, we find it unnecessary to repeat that history here. See Schultz v. Encompass

Insurance, 2004 WL 2075114 (E.D. Pa. Sept. 16, 2004). Moreover, in his thoughtful

Memorandum and Opinion, Judge Sanchez has carefully and completely explained his

reasons for finding that Schultz is not covered under his grandparents’ policy. We can

add little to Judge Sanchez’ searching analysis, and the arguments raised on appeal do not

merit further discussion.

       Accordingly, we will affirm the district court substantially for the reasons set forth

in the district court’s Memorandum and Order without further discussion.
