Copley appeals from the district court’s orders affirming numerous orders of the bankruptcy court and denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the lower courts’ opinions and orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, while we grant Copley’s motion to file a supplemental brief and have considered the issues therein, we affirm on the rea- soning of the district court. Copley v. State Auto. Mut. Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co., Nos. CA-99-1054-3; BK-97-30131 (S.D.W. Va. June 12 & July 6, 2000). In light of the resolution of this appeal, the stay pending appeal entered on October 16, 2000, is terminated. 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 3
