Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Dale and Isaac Rutherford appeal the order of the district court which granted summary judgment to Ahmed Ali Bukannan and his brothers on their claims for breach of contract and conversion. A jury determined the Rutherfords were hable for fraud and constructive fraud in the amount of $300,000, and that the amount of damages for which the Rutherfords were hable for breach of contract and conversion was $152,000. The jury also awarded punitive damages of $450,000. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude that the district court properly granted summary judgment on the breach-of-contract and conversion claims in favor of the plaintiffs. See Get Away Club v. Coleman, 969 F.2d 664, 666 (8th Cir.1992).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable William R. Wilson, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
