PER CURIAM: Peggie Ann King, Barbara Jenkins, and Irene Combs appeal the district court’s de*298nial of declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages. Their major contention is that for purposes of an employment contract on a federal enclave, the Virginia Right to Work Law [Va.Code § 40.1-58 et seq.] is assimilated into federal law by the Assimilated Crimes Act [18 U.S.C. § 13]. The district court concluded that the Virginia law is not incorporated into federal law. For the reasons sufficiently stated in its opinion, we affirm. See King v.
