                              ____________

Before MURPHY, SHEPHERD, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Plaintiffs appeal the district court’s1 grant of defendants’ motion to dismiss
under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). The quiet-title claims brought by
plaintiffs, related to their mortgage debts, are identical to claims in at least two prior
cases, and this court affirmed the district court’s dismissal of those cases for failure
to state a claim. See Karnatcheva v. JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., 704 F.3d 545,
547-48 (8th Cir. 2013); Blaylock v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 502 Fed. Appx. 623,
624 (8th Cir. 2013) (unpublished per curiam) (affirming dismissal of quiet-title claim
because claims were identical to Karnatcheva and plaintiffs had not distinguished that
case). We therefore affirm, for both the reasons stated in Karnatcheva and the reasons
stated by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                          ______________________________

       The Honorable Donovan W. Frank, United States District Judge for the
