PER CURIAM.

Plaintiffs are members of the Association of Full Time Farmers and Ranchers of America who purchased insurance through the Association from Capitol American Life Insurance Company.

1 The Honorable Ortrie D. Smith, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri, sitting by designation. Plaintiffs appeal from the order of the District Court2 granting defendants' motion to dismiss and motion for summary judgment on plaintiffs' claims, which are based on the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968 (1994), the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1601-1677 (1994), mail fraud, 18 U.S.C. § 1341 (1994), and wire fraud, 18 U.S.C. § 1343 (1994).

We have reviewed carefully the record and the parties' arguments and have concluded that the District Court was clearly correct in granting defendants' motions for the reasons stated in the court's order. The order of the District Court is summarily affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
