Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

       The appeal and cross-appeal have been submitted on the briefs. Having
considered the record and the parties' submissions, we find no error of law. In our
view, the district court did not abuse its discretion in making its sanctions-related
rulings. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

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