v.
NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
Defendant - Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 3:17-CV-1486
Before CLEMENT, ELROD, and OLDHAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Plaintiffs appeal the entry of summary judgment in this insurance-
coverage dispute. The district court had subject-matter jurisdiction because
the defendant properly removed the case under 28 U.S.C. § 1441. The court
held plaintiffs are not entitled to life-insurance benefits because the policy
owner stopped paying the premiums fifteen years before he died. After
carefully considering the eight issues raised in the plaintiffs’ briefs, the record,
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

AFFIRMED.
