PER CURIAM.
 

  James Martin and Juan Wilkins appeal the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Detective Leon Black, the Defendant in this civil action. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion rendered from the bench and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court, specifically, that Black was entitled to qualified immunity because his arrest of Martin and Wilkins was supported by probable cause, notwithstanding the ultimate dismissal of the charges after trial.
  
   Martin v. Black,
  
  No. CA-99-1673-A (E.D.Va. filed Sept. 29, 2000; entered Oct. 2, 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 decisional process.
 

   AFFIRMED.
