Willard Russell Meadows (bailey), Appellant,patty Bailey Collins; Ella Bailey; Carolyn Bailey Cryner;ruby C. Bailey; Juanita M. Bailey Cumbee; Teddy R. Bailey;james E. Bailey; Edna v. Bailey Price; Sandy G. Bailey,plaintiffs-appellants,andlinda Bailey Collins, Plaintiff, v. Mary Moody Northen, Inc., Defendant-appellee, 2 F.3d 1149 (4th Cir. 1993)

Appellants filed this civil action in federal district court against Mary Moody Northen, Inc., a Texas charitable foundation, contesting title to land in Virginia and a decision of the Virginia Supreme Court in favor of the foundation. Our review of the record, and the district court's opinion and orders granting the Defendant's motion to dismiss and denying reconsideration, discloses no abuse of discretion and that this appeal is without merit. A decision of a state's highest court may not be appealed to the federal district court. 28 U.S.C. § 1257(a) (1988); Olivares v. Martin, 555 F.2d 1192, 1196 (5th Cir. 1977). Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.^*  Collins v. Mary Moody Northen, Inc., No. CA-92-676-R (W.D. Va. Feb. 4, 1993; Feb. 11, 1993). 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
