OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Beverly B. Wilson brought this legal malpractice action against Joseph Patrick Clancy, the lawyer who drafted the will of Wilson's late uncle, Dr. Hurney. The suit claimed that Clancy negligently failed to advise Dr. Hurney of the need to take certain legal steps in order to insure that his testamentary intent could be carried out. The district court granted summary judgment to Clancy, and Wilson appeals.
After carefully reviewing the record and hearing argument, we affirm the judgment of the district court for the reasons stated in its opinion. Wilson v. Clancy, 747 F. Supp. 1154 (D. Md. 1990).
AFFIRMED.
