Before BEAM, FRIEDMAN,1 and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


     Howard and Georgene Fletcher appeal the district court's2 entry of
judgment for defendants Randy J. Zellmer and the Johnson, Anderson &
Zellmer law firm in this legal malpractice action.     The district court
concluded that the appropriate state statute of limitations barred certain
of appellants' causes of action, and that appellants had failed to create
issues of material fact on the remaining causes of action.   After carefully
reviewing the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that the district
court's conclusions were correct.   Accordingly, we affirm.    See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
