Before DONALD RUSSELL, JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Harry Mathis appeals from the district court's order granting the defendants' motion for summary judgment in plaintiff's action challenging the constitutionality of the Virginia Subdivided Land Sales Act, Va.Code Secs. 55-336 to -351. Our review of the record and the district court's ruling from the bench discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Mathis v. Virginia Real Estate Board, C/A No. 87-40-R (E.D. Va. July 2, 1987). 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.
