PER CURIAM:

Rory Mayberry and Robert Isakson appeal the district 

court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate 

judge, granting the motion for Fed. R. Civ. P. 37 sanctions, 

dismissing this action with prejudice, and awarding reasonable 

expenses and fees to Defendants. We have reviewed the record 

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the 

reasons stated by the district court in its opinion from the 

bench. Mayberry v. Battles, No. 1:06-cv-00364-LO-TCB (E.D. Va. 

Oct. 10, 2008). 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.
