AFFIRMED.
Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and K.K. HALL and MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
1The plaintiff, Templeton Thompson, filed in diversity a negligence action claiming that the defendants were responsible for injuries she suffered when a horse, whose lead she was holding, suddenly shied away. However, no one requested that the plaintiff hold the horse and testimony as to a shying propensity, which was produced by the plaintiff, was hearsay and directly rebutted by the very witnesses who allegedly made the hearsay statements.
2The district court's opinion granting summary judgment to the defendants correctly states the law and we affirm on its opinion. Thompson v. Muldoon, C/A No. 88-3745-PN (D.Md. Oct. 10, 1989). We have decided that oral argument would not be helpful and have proceeded to decide the case on the briefs and record.
AFFIRMED
