PER CURIAM:

              Bonnie Cruickshank Wallace, the Wallace Family Trust,

and   Holly     Hall   Publications,      Inc.   (“Appellants”),      appeal    the

district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of the

Defendants on their claims alleging malicious use of process and

abuse    of    process.     We   have     reviewed   the   record   included     on

appeal as well as the parties’ briefs and find no reversible

error.        Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court.        Wallace v. Mercantile Cnty Bank, No. 1:06-cv-

03345-CCB      (D.   Md.   August   31,    2007).     We   dispense    with    oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

addressed in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                                        AFFIRMED
