PER CURIAM. The police officer appellants appeal an adverse grant of summary judgment rejecting their contention that the Board of Police Commissioners and others violated the police officers' constitutionally protected right to privacy in undertaking an investigation into the police officers' compliance with a residency requirement that members of the police department live in the City of St. Louis. Having reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that an extensive discussion is not warranted. The district court has written a comprehensive opinion addressing the issues raised by the parties, and we have nothing to add to the district court's analysis. We see no error by the district court and affirm the judgment substantially for the reasons stated in the district court's order. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
