PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order granting defen-

dant’s motion for judgment in his civil action arising out of a

traffic accident between the parties. We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s order and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Ferrusi v. Stone, No. CA-96-1733-A (E.D. Va. Sept. 3, 1997). 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
