Before Armstrong, Presiding Judge, and Tookey, Judge, and Aoyagi, Judge.
PER CURIAM Plaintiff assigns error to the trial court's denial of his claim for attorney fees arising out of a negligence action against defendant Farmers Insurance Company of Oregon. Plaintiff's assignment is foreclosed by Goddard v. Farmers Ins. Co. , 177 Or. App. 621, 33 P.3d 1075 (2001) (holding that ORS 742.061 does not authorize attorney fees related to a tort claim against an insurer), and we reject it without further discussion. We reject plaintiff's remaining assignments of error.
Affirmed.
