Warren David Harless, John Tracy Walker, IV, Christian, Barton, Epps, Brent & Chappell, Richmond, VA, for Appellee.

E.D. Va.

AFFIRMED.

Before PHILLIPS and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Appellants appeal from the district court's orders granting summary judgment to Appellee and awarding attorney's fees to Appellee. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Sutton v. First Hospital Corporation, No. CA-92-534 (E.D. Va. Apr. 2, 1993; June 11, 1993). We deny Appellee's motion to dismiss the appeal of the summary judgment order. 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
