The opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appealing from an order denying defendants’, and granting plaintiffs’, motion for summary judgment, and conceding that the district judge was right in rejecting the primary contention they made below, appellants seek now to put forward as a ground for reversal an entirely different theory and view from any of those they relied on below.

Appellees, while insisting that the theory which appellants seek now to put forward

*12

is as untenable as the one on which they lost below, urge upon us that having tried and lost the case below upon one theory, they should not be permitted now to retry the case in this court upon a wholly different one.

We agree with appellees that the issues submitted to the district judge for decision were correctly determined and disposed of. We agree with them, too, that the case, having been tried and determined adversely to appellants on the theories they elected to try it on, may not be retried here on the wholly different one they now propose to try out,

and that the judgment should be affirmed.

Affirmed.
