PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

action claiming that he was wrongfully denied long-term disability

benefits. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning
of the district court. Singleton v. Continental Casualty Co., No.
CA-95-86 (W.D. Va. Aug. 1, 1996). We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the deci-
sional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
