Before MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, MAGILL, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

       This is an appeal from the Tax Court's order granting summary judgment in
favor of the Internal Revenue Service in taxpayers' suit challenging the IRS's
determination that they were liable as transferees for taxes in the amount of
approximately $90,000. The Tax Court held, inter alia, that the doctrine of res
judicata barred taxpayers from contesting the amount owed because the court had
previously entered stipulated decisions against taxpayers that determined the taxes
that are the subject of the dispute here.

       We have carefully examined the record and conclude that the Tax Court
correctly applied the doctrine of res judicata in this case. We therefore affirm on the
basis of its well-reasoned decision. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
