UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Newport News. Arenda L. Wright Allen, District Judge. (4:17-cv-00110-AWA-DEM) Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and WYNN and DIAZ, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. James Beggs, Joyce Beggs, Appellants Pro Se. Dustin Mitchell Paul, VANDEVENTER BLACK, LLP, Norfolk, Virginia; Richard Alan Saunders, FURNISS, DAVIS, RASHKIND & SAUNDERS, Norfolk, Virginia; Chad Ervin Kurtz, COZEN O'CONNOR, Washington, D.C., for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

James and Joyce Beggs appeal the district court's order dismissing their second amended complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The Beggses sought to challenge the denial of coverage under the flood insurance policy issued to them by Defendant American Bankers Insurance Company of Florida under the National Flood Insurance Program, which was created pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. § 4001 (2018). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant the Beggses' motion to amend their informal reply brief, and we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Beggs v. Am. Bankers Ins. Co. of Fla., No. 4:17-cv-00110-AWA-DEM (E.D. Va. July 25, 2019). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
