PER CURIAM:

     Barbara Brown appeals the district court’s order of judgment

in her copyright infringement action, and the Defendants cross-

appeal. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.       See Brown v. McCormick, No. CA-

96-3450-L (D. Md. Mar. 8, 2000).       We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the deci-

sional process.
