PER CURIAM:
John W. Ownby, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying
his motion for partial summary judgment and dismissing with prej-
udice his claims alleging violations under the Racketeer Influenced
and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) and without prejudice his
remaining state law claims. We have reviewed the record and the
district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. According-
ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Ownby v.
Cohen, No. CA-98-19-C (W.D. Va. Sept. 8, 1998). 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
