PER CURIAM.
       Phyllis Raedean Hyde appeals from a final order of the United States District
Court1 for the District of Nebraska, dismissing her complaint with prejudice for failing
to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8, and denying her motions for
summary judgment. We have carefully reviewed the record and affirm on the basis of
the district court&s opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also conclude the magistrate
judge had the authority to grant leave to defendants to obtain substitute counsel. See
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A).

      A true copy.

             Attest:

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




      1
        The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable David L.
Piester, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Nebraska.
