Melvin J. Sykes, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellants. Lawrence J. Gebhardt, GEBHARDT & SMITH, LLP, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Bonnie Cruickshank Wallace, the Wallace Family Trust,

and Holly Hall Publications, Inc. (“Appellants”), appeal the

district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of the

Defendants on their claims alleging malicious use of process and

abuse of process. We have reviewed the record included on

appeal as well as the parties’ briefs and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. Wallace v. Mercantile Cnty Bank, No. 1:06-cv-

03345-CCB (D. Md. August 31, 2007). We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

addressed in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
