Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 2 PER CURIAM: Alan T. Law and Diane G. Law appeal the district court’s orders granting the Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and denying their motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Holland v. Law, No. CA-95-874-5 (S.D.W. Va. May 14, June 15, & July 8, 1998). We reject the Laws’ claim that Mountain Laurel Resources Company should have been joined as an indis- pensable party pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 19. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 3
