Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, PHILLIPS, Circuit Judge, and RICHARD L. WILLIAMS, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, sitting by designation.
PER CURIAM:
The Appellants in this case undertook negotiations with the Appellees over the purchase of a piece of real estate in Greenville, South Carolina. When the deal fell through, the Appellants sued in federal court in Greenville, attempting to enforce what they claimed was a contract for the sale of the land. The district judge ruled, on summary judgment, that no writing existed under the South Carolina Statute of Frauds, S.C.Code Sec. 32-3-10, and that no contract had thus been formed. We agree with, and therefore adopt, the well reasoned opinion of the district judge. Gulf Atlantic, Inc. v. General Electric Co., Inc., C/A No. 6:87-2922-17 (July 14, 1988). That opinion is therefore
AFFIRMED.
