Description
Appellants appeal the district courts order granting summary judgment in their breach of contract action. We have reviewed the record and the district courts opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Hart v. Elder, No. CA-96-2414-WMN (D. Md. Jan. 7, 1998). Appellants were not entitled to a jury trial because their claims were properly decided by the district court on summary judgment. Also, Appellants failed to raise their defamation claim before the district court, and the claim may not be raised before this court for the first time on appeal. See Spencer v. Murray, 5 F.3d 758, 762 (4th Cir. 1993). Similarly, we decline to review Appellants request for relief for their children and neighbors because these people were not parties to the complaint. Finally, we deny Appel- lants Omnibus Motion seeking a stay of proceedings in the district court. 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.
