OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Appellants seek review of the judgment of the district court dismissing their federal securities claims for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) (6), and failure to plead fraud with particularity, Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b). Our review of the record discloses that Appellants' complaint fails to set forth a cognizable claim of fraud under Sec. 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C.A. Sec. 78j(b) (West 1981), or Rule 10b-5, 17 C.F.R. Sec. 240.10b-5 (1993). Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. In re USF & G Corp. Securities Litigation, No. 90-2928 (D. Md. Feb. 19, 1993).
