PER CURIAM:

     James Martin and Juan Wilkins appeal the district court’s

order granting summary judgment in favor of Detective Leon Black,

the Defendant in this civil action.   We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion rendered from the bench and find

no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of

the district court, specifically, that Black was entitled to quali-

fied immunity because his arrest of Martin and Wilkins was sup-

ported by probable cause, notwithstanding the ultimate dismissal of

the charges after trial.   Martin v. Black, No. CA-99-1673-A (E.D.

Va. filed Sept. 29, 2000; entered Oct. 2, 2000).   We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.



                                                          AFFIRMED
