Before BOWMAN, HEANEY, Circuit Judges, and LONGSTAFF,1 District Judge.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. appeals from the order of the District Court2 denying its
motion for judgment as a matter of law and for a new trial, following a jury verdict for
Midwest Telecom Resellers, Ltd. in this breach of contract action. Having considered
the record and the parties' submissions, we conclude the District Court correctly denied

      1
      The Honorable Ronald E. Longstaff, United States District Judge for the
Southern District of Iowa, sitting by designation.
      2
        The Honorable Charles A. Shaw, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
Wal-Mart's motion. We also conclude that a comprehensive opinion in this diversity
case would lack precedential value. We thus affirm the District Court's ruling without
further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
