                             San Francisco, California

Before: THOMAS and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges, and EZRA, District Judge.**

      Deborah Jane Jarrett et. al., along with third-party payor Government

Employees Health Association, Inc., appeal the district court’s dismissal of their

proposed nationwide class action suit against InterMune, Inc., Dr. Scott Harkonen,

we need not recount it here.

      We affirm the judgment of the district court for the reasons set forth in the

district court’s orders. See In re Actimmune Marketing Litig., 614 F.Supp.2d 1037
