2 PER CURIAM:

Ramona Brockett appeals the district court’s order

denying Brockett’s motion for a judgment notwithstanding the

verdict or for a new trial following the jury’s verdict in favor

of Jordan Brown on his claim for defamation, and challenges the

amount of damages remitted upon the court’s grant of Brockett’s

motion for a remittitur. We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. Brown v. Brockett, No.

1:11-cv-00240-JFM (D. Md. Oct. 15, 2013). We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before this court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
