OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Advertisement
On April 5, 1989, Joseph J. Ward signed a contract to purchase a house from Frank and Janet Perry, contingent on his obtaining financing. He returned the contract with a $15,000 deposit. When, because of a complex set of circumstances, he was unable to obtain financing, he refused to go to settlement and demanded a return of the deposit. The Perrys refused and sold the house to third parties, taking a significant loss. The Perrys filed suit against Ward for damages sustained by an alleged breach of contract, and Ward filed a counterclaim to obtain a return of the deposit. The district court, ruling on cross motions for summary judgment, found in favor of Ward, awarding him the return of his deposit, and the Perrys appealed.
We have carefully reviewed the record, the arguments made by the parties, and the opinion of the district court. Finding no reversible error in the judgment entered, we affirm on the reasons given by the district court in its oral opinion. Perry v. Ward, No. 90-312-A (E.D.Va. Sept. 14, 1990). J.A. 57-67.
AFFIRMED.
