No. 97-3169.

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Submitted March 9, 1998.
Filed March 18, 1998.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.

Before BOWMAN and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges, and MONTGOMERY, District Judge.1

PER CURIAM.

Defendants appeal the summary judgment entered against them by the District Court2 awarding plaintiffs interim payments of withdrawal liability under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1980. The judgment is based on the court's determination that defendants were under common control with Be-Mac Transport, Inc. on the date of Be-Mac's complete withdrawal from the Chicago Truck Drivers, Helpers and Warehouse Workers Union (Independent) Pension Fund.

Having considered the briefs, the record, and the arguments of the parties, we conclude that the judgment of the District Court is correct. No error of law appears, and an opinion would add nothing of substance to the thorough and well-written opinions of the District Court. Accordingly, we forego extended discussion.

The Honorable Ann D. Montgomery, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota, sitting by designation

The Honorable David D. Noce, United States Magistriate Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri, acting pursuant to the consent of the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)
