In this cross-appeal, William J. Guidiee appeals from the magistrate judge’s order denying his motion for a new trial after a jury awarded $200,000 in compensatory damages to Plaintiff Reginald O. Moore on his defamation claim. * We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Moore v. Guidice, No. CA-01-1886-A (E.D.Va. filed Dec. 13, 2002 & entered Dec. 17, 2002). 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
