PER CURIAM:

     James Francis and Donna Francis appeal the district court’s

order entering judgment in favor of the Defendants following a

bench trial.    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 Francis v. Barnes, No.

CA-97-658-3 (E.D. Va. Sept. 30, 1999).       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
