Appeal from the United States District Court for The District of Nevada; Bruce R. Thompson, Judge.

John Peter Lee (argued), Las Vegas, Nev., for appellants.

Charles W. Deaner (argued), Deaner, Butler & Adamson, Las Vegas, Nev., for appellees.

Before CHAMBERS and MERRILL, Circuit Judges, and CROCKER, District Judge.

PER CURIAM:

¶1

The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

¶2

We agree with the district court that the escrow instructions signed by the parties constituted a binding obligation ab initio to sell and to buy.

¶3

It is our view that until March 4, 1968, the buyers could have terminated the contract by a refusal to approve the "restrictions," using the reasons they ultimately used. But they did it too late when they disapproved on March 18, 1968.
