Before RILEY, Chief Judge, GRUENDER and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.



                                         -2-
       In these consolidated appeals following earlier remands and a subsequent
adverse judgment in the district court,1 plaintiffs challenge several rulings. After
careful review, we find no basis to reverse any of the following: the dismissal of
plaintiffs’ remaining claims, see Karnatcheva v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 

, 548 (8th Cir.) (affirming dismissal of claims because pleadings offered only
labels and conclusions based on speculation that transfers affecting payees and
assignments of notes were invalid), cert. denied, 

(2013); the denial of
plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a second amended complaint, see Marmo v. Tyson
Fresh Meats, Inc., 

, 755 (8th Cir. 2006) (denial of leave to amend is
reviewed for abuse of discretion, but legal conclusion that amendment would be futile
is reviewed de novo); the denial of a motion to sever, in which some of the plaintiffs
essentially sought permission to proceed separately from the other plaintiffs, see
United States v. Kime, 

, 880 (8th Cir. 1996) (no reversal for denial of
motion to sever absent showing of real prejudice indicating abuse of discretion); or
the reassessment of sanctions against attorney William Butler, see Clark v. United
Parcel Serv., Inc., 

, 1008 (8th Cir. 2006) (district court’s
determinations concerning Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 are reviewed for abuse of discretion).

      We thus affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________




      1
       The Honorable Ann D. Montgomery, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
