AFFIRMED.
Before DONALD RUSSELL and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges, and KELLAM, Senior United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, sitting by designation.
PER CURIAM:

1
Emma and Robert Humphrey bring this appeal asserting that the amount of damages awarded in their federal tort claims actions are inadequate to compensate them for medical expenses incurred and for pain, suffering, and loss of capacity to enjoy life in the future.  They likewise complain of refusal of the court to admit certain evidence and finding of contributory negligence.  The United States cross appeals asserting error in finding it negligent and in the improper admission of evidence.

2
The district court in its opinion made a full finding of the facts and stated its conclusions of law.  A review of the record establishes the findings are supported by the evidence and are not clearly erroneous.  We likewise find the issues raised in the cross appeal by the United States to be without merit.  We therefore affirm on the opinion of the district court.  Humphrey v. United States, C/A-5:87-0212 (S.D.W.Va. Dec. 9, 1988).

AFFIRMED
