S.D.W. Va.
AFFIRMED.
Before NIEMEYER, HAMILTON, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Appellants appeal from the district court's order denying relief on their claim for health and retirement benefits. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.* Cruickshanks v. UMWA Health & Retirement Funds, No. CA-93-76 (S.D.W. Va. Sept. 9, 1993). 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
As noted by the district court, Appellants' claims were presented and decided in an earlier action. Their present request for relief is thus barred by res judicata. Meekins v. United Transp. Union, 946 F.2d 1054, 1057 (4th Cir. 1991)
