PER CURIAM:
Yeliang Xia appeals the district court’s order entering judgment on the jury verdict
in favor of Wengui Guo on Guo’s claims of defamation and defamation per se against Xia,
in favor of Xia on Xia’s defamation counterclaim against Guo, and in favor of Guo on
Xia’s defamation per se counterclaim against Guo. We have reviewed the record and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. Guo v. Xia,
No. 1:18-cv-00174-LO-TCB (E.D. Va. filed Sept. 12, 2019 & entered Sept. 13, 2019). We
deny Xia’s motion for oral argument and dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
