        PER CURIAM:

              Yeliang Xia appeals the district court’s order entering judgment on the jury verdict

        in favor of Wengui Guo on Guo’s claims of defamation and defamation per se against Xia,

        in favor of Xia on Xia’s defamation counterclaim against Guo, and in favor of Guo on

        Xia’s defamation per se counterclaim against Guo. We have reviewed the record and find

        no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. Guo v. Xia,

        No. 1:18-cv-00174-LO-TCB (E.D. Va. filed Sept. 12, 2019 & entered Sept. 13, 2019). We

        deny Xia’s motion for oral argument and 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

                                                   2
