ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Befor~*McKAY and TACHA, Circuit Judges, and O'CONNOR, District 

Judge . 

This appeal is from an order of the district court granting 

summary judgment in favor of Seattle-First National Bank and 

Richard Burbidge. This action was brought to collect on 

assumption agreements executed by the defendants. The district 

court determined that there were no genuine issues of material 

fact to be resolved and that the defendants were bound by the 

clear language of the assumption agreements. We agree. We 

further find that there was no error in the district court's 

dismissal of the claims of defendants Harrison and Schmidt. We 

affirm the order granting summary judgment to Seattle-First 

National Bank and Richard Burbidge.
