ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
Plaintiffs Charles Mangrum and Alan Montierth brought consolidated actions against Defendants U.S. West Communications and Communications Workers of America, alleging violations of § 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act. Plaintiffs, both union members and employees of U.S. West, claimed that U.S. West breached the collective bargaining agreement and the Union breached its duty of fair representation in a dispute over Plaintiffs "primary reporting place." Plaintiffs also claimed intentional infliction of emotional distress. In a thorough opinion, the district court granted both Defendants summary judgment on all claims. Mangrum v. U.S. West Communications, Inc., 961 F. Supp. 1510 (D.Utah, 1996). Plaintiffs appeal. We review the district court's grant of summary judgment de novo and apply the same standard as the district court under Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c). Taken v. Oklahoma Corp. Comm'n, 125 F.3d 1366, 1368 (10th Cir.1997).
We have reviewed the parties' briefs, pleadings, affidavits, and the entire record before us. We believe the district court properly granted summary judgment to Defendants, and affirm substantially for the reasons set forth in its Memorandum Decision and Order Granting Defendants' Motions for Summary Judgment.
AFFIRMED.
