PER CURIAM:
The estate of Michael J. Dunn appeals the district court’s order granting summary
judgment to Scottsdale Insurance Company on its complaint seeking a declatory judgment
that it had no duty to defend an action against its insured based on assault and battery
exclusions to the policies’ liquor liability coverage. We have reviewed the record and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.
Scottsdale Ins. Co. v. Acosta, No. 4:18-cv -00099-MGL (D.S.C. July 2, 2018). 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
