OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Plaintiffs Professional Radio, Inc. and Pauline L. Davis appeal the district court's order granting defendants George R. Bosari and Daly, Joyce and Bosari's1 motion to dismiss their complaint, alleging legal malpractice, for lack of personal jurisdiction. Fed.R.Civ.Proc. 12(b)(2). The district court determined that defendants had not purposefully established "minimum contacts" in South Carolina; therefore, the maintenance of the suit would "offend 'traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.' " International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310, 316 (1945) (quoting Milliken v. Meyer, 311 U.S. 457, 463 (1940)); Burger King Corp. v. Rudzewicz, 471 U.S. 462 (1985); Federal Ins. Co. v. Lake Shore, Inc., 886 F.2d 654 (4th Cir.1989). After reviewing the record and briefs submitted by the parties,2 we are convinced that the district court properly concluded that defendants lacked minimum contacts in South Carolina to justify the assertion of personal jurisdiction. Accordingly, we affirm on the findings and reasoning of the district court. Professional Radio, Inc., and Pauline L. Davis v. George R. Bosari, Jr., and Daly, Joyce & Bosari, No. CA-90-2061-9-3 (D.S.C. February 11, 1991).

AFFIRMED.

1 Defendant Daly, Joyce and Bosari, the former law firm of defendant George R. Bosari, is a defunct entity

2 The case was set for oral argument on December 5, 1991, but was submitted on the briefs by motion of the parties filed December 2, 1991, and granted by the court
