                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Southern District of Georgia
                        ________________________

                              (October 19, 2007)
Before TJOFLAT, HULL and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      H.G. Estate, LLC, The Howard Gilman Foundation, Inc. and W.O. Corporation

(“Intervenors”) appeal the district court’s judgment following an order granting the

joint motion to dismiss of Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) and

Durango Georgia Paper Company (“Durango”).

      Intervenors raise two issues on appeal: (1) whether the district court erred in

dismissing the litigation and (2) alternatively, whether the district court erred by not

imposing conditions on the dismissal.

      We review a court’s grant of a motion to dismiss for abuse of discretion.

Fisher v. Puerto Rico Marine Mgmt., Inc., 940 F.2d 1502, 1503 (11th Cir. 1991).

Having considered the briefs and the record, we find no abuse of discretion in the

dismissal.   AFFIRMED.

                                           2
