                                  Per Curiam. In a well-reasoned decision, the magistrate

judge granted summary judgment to the defendant in the district

court.  We have reviewed the briefs and pertinent record documents

and are satisfied that the district court correctly resolved the

matter.  To put the matter in a nutshell, the inferences relied on

by the plaintiffs as warranting a full-fledged trial are too thin

to create material issues of disputed fact.

  Affirmed.
