   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-02-2385AW (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
