AFFIRMED.
Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, CHAPMAN, Circuit Judge, and ROBERT R. MERHIGE, Jr., Senior United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, sitting by designation.
PER CURIAM:
Dr. Alan Tempkin and his wife Teresa L. Tempkin appeal the district court's dismissal of their complaint alleging violations of the Sherman Act. Based upon the reasoning of the district court opinion, we hold that (1) the court correctly dismissed the first amended complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction; (2) the Tempkins lacked standing; (3) the complaint was properly dismissed for failure to state a claim under sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. Secs. 1, 2; and (4) the court did not abuse its discretion by denying the Tempkins' post-judgment motion to amend the complaint. Accordingly, the district court's opinion is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
