PER CURIAM:
Appellants Lester A.D. Adams and Maribel F. Murray appeal
the district court’s judgment dismissing their civil action filed
to quiet title to certain residential real property and for
specific performance of a purchase option as to the property.
After a bench trial, this court reviews the district court’s
conclusions of law de novo and its findings of fact for clear
error. Minyard Enter., Inc. v. Southeastern Chem. & Solvent Co.,
184 F.3d 373, 380 (4th Cir. 1999); Fed. R. Civ. P. 52(a). A
finding of fact is clearly erroneous when, “although there is
evidence to support it, the reviewing court on the entire evidence
is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has
been committed.” United States v. United States Gypsum Co., 333
U.S. 364, 395 (1948); In re Green, 934 F.2d 568, 570 (4th Cir.
1991).
We have reviewed the parties’ informal briefs and the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for
the reasons stated by the district court. See Adams v. Brooks, No.
8:05-cv-03332-DKC (D. Md. July 25, 2007; Jan. 2, 2008). 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
