PER CURIAM:
SSC Seneca Operating Company LLC, SavaSeniorCare Administrative Services,
LLC, and SavaSeniorCare Consulting, LLC, appeal from the district court’s order denying
the motion to dismiss and to compel arbitration of Tammy Fowler’s civil action against
them filed in her capacity as the personal representative of the Estate of Ralph Owens, and
denying the motions to stay proceedings in the district court pending resolution of the
motion to compel arbitration. We have reviewed the record on appeal and the arguments
of the parties, and we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. Fowler v. SSC Seneca Operating Co. LLC, No. 8:21-cv-00430-
HMH (D.S.C. Apr. 16, 2021). 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
