PER CURIAM:
M.A. Bryant and Vivian Bryant appeal from the district court’s
orders granting summary judgment in favor of the Secretary of the
Department of Agriculture on the Bryants’ action in which they
challenged the decision of the Farm Service Agency, the successor
to the Farmers Home Administration,* denying their request for loan
servicing (No. 98-2779), and dismissing their subsequent action on
the basis of res judicata (No. 98-2782). We have reviewed the rec-
ords and the district court’s opinions and orders and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. See Bryant v. Secretary, U.S. Dep’t of Agriculture,
No. CA-97-23-A (W.D. Va. Oct. 13, 1998), and Bryant v. Farmers Home
Admin., No. CA-98-116-A (W.D. Va. Dec. 7, 1998). Because counsel
for the Bryants has not entered an appearance in this court, we
grant counsel’s motion to withdraw from the appeal. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
