v.

No. 97-7068

(D.C. No. 96-CV-246-P)

(E.D. Okla.)


ORDER AND JUDGMENT(*)


Before PORFILIO, BARRETT, and HENRY, Circuit Judges.


After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

The Cadle Company, an assignee of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, brought this action seeking judgment against defendants for payment of the balance due under a promissory note executed by Mike Russell, deceased, and foreclosure of a mortgage securing the note. After a nonjury trial conducted by a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), judgment was entered in favor of defendants, based on the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

We have carefully reviewed the parties' briefs on appeal, the magistrate judge's findings of fact and conclusions of law, and the entire record before this court. We discern no reversible error and AFFIRM for substantially those reasons set forth in the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, dated June 11, 1997.

Entered for the Court

John C. Porfilio

Circuit Judge
