PER CURIAM:

     Appellant   Cynthia   C.   Holmes,   M.D.,   appeals   the   district

court’s order granting summary judgment to the Defendants in her

action raising violations of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2

(1994), the Anti-Kickback statute, 42 U.S.C.A. § 1320a-7(b) (West

Supp. 2000), and the Stark Law, 42 U.S.C.A. § 1395nn (West Supp.

2000), and several state law claims.       We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Holmes v. Tenet HealthSystem Medical, Inc., No. CA-99-833-2-23

(D.S.C. Apr. 17, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
