OPINION

PER CURIAM:


After Timothy Mark Taylor's hand was injured in an accident involving a wire mesh roller, Taylor and his wife, Shirley Taylor, brought an action against Scott Machinery Service, the manufacturer of the roller; J. Max Scott, the owner of Scott Machinery Service; and Clay Warner & Associates, Inc., the broker that arranged the sale of the roller. The Taylors sought damages based upon theories of negligence, strict liability, breach of implied warranty, breach of express warranty, and loss of consortium. The district court dismissed the suit as to defendants Scott Machinery Service and J. Max Scott for lack of personal jurisdiction, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) (2), and entered summary judgment in favor of defendant Clay Warner & Associates, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 56. The Taylors appeal.

We have considered the briefs and the arguments of the parties, and affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Taylor v. Scott, No. H-90-2417 (D. Md. Feb. 8, 1991); Taylor v. Scott, No. H-90-2417 (D. Md. Mar. 28, 1991); Taylor v. Scott, No. H-90-2417 (D. Md. Nov. 18, 1991).

AFFIRMED
