Per Curiam.

[¶1]	TAG Investments and James A. Grettum appealed from a district court’s post-

judgment order determining that its prior judgment, as affirmed by this Court in 
Matrix Properties Corp. v. TAG Investments
, 2000 ND 88, 609 N.W.2d 737, required TAG and Grettum to transfer property in accordance with Matrix Properties Corporation’s exercise of an option under the parties’ 1996 agreement.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1).  Double costs are awarded to Matrix under N.D.R.App.P. 38 and 39.  We further direct the district court to order specific performance requiring TAG and Grettum to convey the subject property upon tender by Matrix of the purchase price set in the 1996 option agreement.
