EYRING JOSEPH GARN FORD, DEFENDANTS-APPELLANTS.

PER CURIAM:

Defendants Joseph C. Eyring and Joseph Garn Ford appeal from a final judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Michael B. Mukasey, Judge, granting summary judgment in favor of plaintiff on its claims for recovery on certain promissory notes signed by defendants-appellants. Defendants-appellants contend that the notes were unenforceable, arguing principally (1) that plaintiff was not a holder in due course because the notes were not acquired in good faith; and (2) that the fraudulent means by which Eyring and Ford were induced, by a third person unrelated to plaintiff, to sign the notes gave rise to a defense of "fraud in the factum," thereby precluding enforcement even by a holder in due course. We reject these contentions substantially for the reasons stated in the Opinion and Order of the district court dated July 1, 1993, see ___ F. Supp. ___.

We have considered all of defendants-appellants' contentions on this appeal and have found them to be without merit. The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
