Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

        Home Federal Savings Bank appeals an adverse grant of summary judgment in
this diversity action. After de novo review, we are satisfied the district court correctly
applied state law and the record supports the district court's ruling. Because a
comprehensive opinion in this diversity case would lack precedential value, we affirm
for the reasons set forth in the district court's well-reasoned opinion. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
