PER CURIAM:

     In these consolidated appeals, Rausch appeals the district

court’s order entering a judgment against him and in favor of the

Appellee for federal common law fraud, Virginia common law fraud,

federal mail fraud, and breach of contract. We find that the dis-

trict court had subject matter jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1331

(1994). Further, we have reviewed the record and the district

court’s order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm.

Furthermore, we grant Rausch’s motion to file a supplemental reply

brief. 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 decisional process.

                                                           AFFIRMED
