PER CURIAM:

            Evelyn R. Sinkler appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment in favor of the Appellee on Sinkler’s

claims regarding a disability income rider to her life insurance

policy.     We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district    court.       Sinkler    v.       Conseco   Life      Ins.   Co.,   No.

1:12-cv-00642-CMH-JFA (E.D. Va. Apr. 12, 2013).                  We also deny as

moot the Appellee’s motion to dismiss the appeal as prematurely

filed.     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

                                         3
