OPINION

Edens Toccoa Partners-88 ("Edens"), filed an action for declaratory judgment against Miller-Sharpe, Inc. ("Miller-Sharpe") in state court in South Carolina. Edens sought a determination concerning a balance due Miller-Sharpe on a construction contract and for claimed "extras" from the underlying project. Miller-Sharpe removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina. The matter was tried in February and March 1992 and resulted in a jury verdict in favor of the defendant in the amount of $94,017.39.

Edens filed motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or, alternatively, for a new trial, and for new trial nisi remittitur. MillerSharpe moved for attorney fees and pre-judgment interest. All motions were denied by the district court in rulings from the bench during a hearing held on April 8, 1992. Both parties filed timely appeals from these decisions.^* 

We have reviewed the issues, studied the briefs and the record, and heard oral argument. We agree with the analysis of the district court and affirm on the basis of its reasoning as stated on the record.
