Before WOLLMAN, BEAM, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.
      This long-running litigation, which stretches back to the early 1990s, was
brought to an end by the district court’s 1 May 24, 2005, judgment, entered upon the
court’s May 23, 2005, order, dismissing the complaint.

       Having considered the parties’ arguments, we conclude that, for the reasons set
forth in the district court’s comprehensive, well-reasoned opinion,2 the judgment
should be, and it hereby is, affirmed. See 8th Cir. Rule 47B.3
                        ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable James M. Rosenbaum, Chief Judge, United States District

      We exercise our discretion not to impose on our own motion damages or costs
