See Local Rule 36(c). 2 PER CURIAM: Barbara Brown appeals the district court’s order of judgment in her copyright infringement action, and the Defendants cross- appeal. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin- ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Brown v. McCormick, No. CA- 96-3450-L (D. Md. Mar. 8, 2000). 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 deci- sional process. AFFIRMED 3
