PER CURIAM:

     This case is an appeal from summary judgment in favor of the

defendant-appellee.   The district court held that West Virginia's

recreational use statute, W.Va. Code Ann. § 19-25-2 (1993), in

conjunction with the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2671 et

seq., shields the United States from liability under the facts of

the case.   For the reasons stated by the district court, the judg-

ment is in all respects affirmed.

                                                          AFFIRMED
