PER CURIAM:
Joseph Kipp Pitner appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his civil action governed by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. We have reviewed the
record, the parties’ briefs, and the district court’s opinion and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. See Pitner v. Health & Welfare Fund
for Int’l Union of Operating Engr’s Local 99 & 99A, No.
CA-02-2385-AW (D. Md. Jan. 22, 2004). We grant Appellee’s motion
to submit the case on the briefs as the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
