The judgment of the district court dismissing with prejudice all the claims of plaintiffs-appellants against defendants-appellees Life Insurance Company of the Southwest and National Life of Vermont (also known as National Life Insurance Company) is affirmed, for the reasons, among others, essentially as stated in the district court’s November 12, 2009 Memorandum Opinion, and because this court also concludes that the Summary Judgment evidence does not support a finding of conversion by either of the said defendants-appellees.

The foregoing renders moot the cross-appeal of said Life Insurance Company of the Southwest and of said National Life of Vermont, and likewise renders moot the cross-appeal of defendants-cross-appellants Kenneth Bohannon and Terry Holman, and accordingly said cross-appeals are dismissed as moot.

AFFIRMED; CROSS-APPEALS DISMISSED AS MOOT.
