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

PER CURIAM.

       Leugene Cash Bettis appeals the district court's adverse grant of summary
judgment in Bettis's action to recover pension benefits under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act. After careful review of the record and the parties' submissions,
we conclude that no error of law appears in the district court's ruling and that an
extended discussion is unnecessary. Contrary to Bettis's view, the record is clear that
Bettis was not eligible for pension benefits under the St. Louis Teamsters Brewery
Workers Pension Plan because she was not an employee of a participating union
employer. We thus affirm the district court's ruling. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
