THOMPSON INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INCORPORATED,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

M.G. BRYAN EQUIPMENT COMPANY,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Joseph F. Anderson, Jr., District Judge. (CA-99-1214-3-17)

Submitted: May 16, 2000 Decided: September 8, 2000

Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

G. Trenholm Walker, Sean K. Trundy, PRATT-THOMAS, PEARCE, EPTING & WALKER, P.A., Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellant. C. Allen Gibson, Jr., Margaret O. Dullanty, BUIST, MOORE, SMYTHE & MCGEE, P.A., Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Thompson Industrial Services, Inc., appeals the district

court’s order granting M.G. Bryan Equipment Co.’s motion to dismiss

for lack of personal jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and

the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Thompson Indus. Servs. v. M.G. Bryan Equip. Co., No. CA-99-1214-3-

17 (D.S.C. Sept. 13, 1999). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED
