OPINION

PER CURIAM:

First Citizens Bank & Trust Company and the third-party defendants appeal the district court's order denying J.N.O.V. and a new trial. After hearing oral argument and reviewing the district court's opinion, we conclude that both appeals are without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.
