      District Judge.

PER CURIAM.

       This appeal has been submitted on the briefs. Having considered the record and
the parties' submissions, we agree with the district court's analysis and conclude that

for the reasons stated in the district court’s order without further discussion. See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.
