Before BOWMAN, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       This appeal has been submitted on the briefs. Having considered the record and
the parties' submissions in the framework of the single issue certified for appeal, we
find no error of law in the district court's ruling that would require reversal. We thus
affirm the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
