PER CURIAM.

      Ralph and Audrey Woepke appeal from the District Court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in their diversity action. After de novo review of the record, we
conclude the grant of judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the District Court.
See Arnold v. City of Columbia, 197 F.3d 1217, 1219 (8th Cir. 1999) (standard of
review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

        The Honorable David D. Noce, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of
the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994 & Supp. III 1997).
