                                 ___________

Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Chief Judge, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD,       Circuit
Judge, and ROSENBAUM,* District Judge.
                               ___________

PER CURIAM.


     Humana Kansas City, Inc., appeals the district court’s2 grant of
summary judgment to defendant in its bad faith action.     Having carefully
reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that no error of
law or fact appears, and that an opinion would lack precedential value.




     *The HONORABLE JAMES M. ROSENBAUM, United States
     District Judge for the District of Minnesota, sitting
     by designation.
     2
     The Honorable Howard F. Sachs, Senior United States District
Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
Accordingly, we affirm.   See 8th Cir. R. 47B.


A true copy.


     Attest:


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