We exercise our discretion not to impose on our own motion damages or costs

upon appellants under Fed. R. App. P. 38.

This long-running litigation, which stretches back to the early 1990s, was

brought to an end by the district court’s 1

 May 24, 2005, judgment, entered upon the

court’s May 23, 2005, order, dismissing the complaint.

Having considered the parties’ arguments, we conclude that, for the reasons set

forth in the district court’s comprehensive, well-reasoned opinion,2

 the judgment

should be, and it hereby is, affirmed. See 8th Cir. Rule 47B.3
