PER CURIAM:
Douglas C. Riner appeals the district court’s order
awarding summary judgment to defendant and denying his motion to
stay the proceedings. We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Connecticut
General Life Ins. Co. v. Riner, No. CA-00-65-1-JPJ (W.D. Va. Jan 4.
2005). We deny Riner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis in this
court as moot because he paid the filing fee. 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 decisional process.
AFFIRMED
