PER CURIAM.

The Daniel T. Haines appellants appeal from the district court's adverse grant of summary judgment in their product liability action. We review a grant of summary judgment under a well-established standard. Because this is a diversity action, we review de novo questions of state law. Having considered the record and the parties' briefs, we are satisfied the district court correctly applied Iowa law and the record supports the district court's ruling. We also conclude that a comprehensive opinion in this diversity case would lack precedential value. We thus affirm the decision of the district court without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
