Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

       Bernard Niewohner appeals the district court's adverse grant of summary
judgment in this diversity-based title insurance case. We review a grant of summary
judgment under a well-established standard. Because this is a diversity action, we
review de novo questions of state law. Having considered the record and the parties'
submissions, we are satisfied the district court correctly applied the law and the
record supports the district court's ruling. We also conclude a comprehensive opinion
in this diversity case would lack precedential value. We thus affirm on the basis of
the district court's ruling without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
