OPINION

PER CURIAM:

1

Richard Robinson, Jr. and Diane Robinson Cybart (collectively, "Robinsons") brought this products liability action against Sheridan Products, Incorporated (Sheridan) and Benjamin Air Rifle Company (Benjamin), alleging that a pellet gun manufactured by Sheridan was unreasonably dangerous due to a design defect. The district court granted summary judgment for Sheridan and Benjamin. The Robinsons appeal. Our review of the record reveals that the Robinsons have failed to establish a genuine issue of material fact concerning whether the pellet gun with which Richard Robinson was wounded was unreasonably dangerous or whether any defect in the pellet gun proximately caused his injury. As a result, Sheridan and Benjamin are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Robinson v. Sheridan Products, Inc., No. 93-0041 (E.D. Va. Nov. 15, 1993).

2

AFFIRMED.
