PER CURIAM:

The Appellants in this case undertook negotiations with the Appellees over the purchase of a piece of real estate in Greenville, South Carolina.  When the deal fell through, the Appellants sued in federal court in Greenville, attempting to enforce what they claimed was a contract for the sale of the land.  The district judge ruled, on summary judgment, that no writing existed under the South Carolina Statute of Frauds, S.C.Code Sec. 32-3-10, and that no contract had thus been formed.  We agree with, and therefore adopt, the well reasoned opinion of the district judge.  Gulf Atlantic, Inc. v. General Electric Co., Inc., C/A No. 6:87-2922-17 (July 14, 1988).  That opinion is therefore
