PER CURIAM:
In this cross-appeal, William J. Guidice appeals from the
magistrate judge’s order denying his motion for a new trial after
a jury awarded $200,000 in compensatory damages to Plaintiff
Reginald O. Moore on his defamation claim. * We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the district court. See Moore v. Guidice, No. CA-01-
1886-A (E.D. Va. filed Dec. 13, 2002 & entered Dec. 17, 2002). 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
