William E. Skye, Alexandria, La., for plaintiffs-appellants.

PER CURIAM:

¶1

In this malicious prosecution action the plaintiffs challenge the entry of summary judgment against them in the district court.

¶2

Finding ourselves in full agreement with the lower court's determination that there were no issues of fact that Brown & Root communicated to its counsel all the facts bearing on the case of which it had knowledge or which could have been reasonably ascertained, and that it was advised by counsel and acted on that advice, we adopt Judge Hunter's opinion, 338 F.Supp. 680, D.C., as the opinion of this Court.

¶3

Affirmed.
