Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.
       Arlie Nelson, Alice Nelson, Charles Nelson, and Woodrow Nelson appeal the
district court&s1 dismissal of their complaint for failure to state a claim under Fed. R.
Civ. P. 12 (b)(6). After careful review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we
conclude defendants Merritt Warren and Edward Hannon are entitled to absolute
immunity and the Nelsons& claims are barred by the applicable statutes of limitations.
We deny the Nelsons& motion for leave to file affidavits and exhibits. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

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




      1
        The HONORABLE WILLIAM G. CAMBRIDGE, Chief Judge, United States
District Court for the District of Nebraska.
