PER CURIAM.

       U.S. Environmental and Mark G. Edlund brought a complaint and request for
injunctive relief against Craig M. Beeson in state court, claiming that he had breached
a settlement agreement rising out of a prior state action. They subsequently filed an
action in federal district court asserting the same claims, and Beeson moved to dismiss

the federal action. After a hearing, the district court2 granted the motion to dismiss and
awarded Beeson attorney fees. U.S. Environmental and Edlund appeal. After a careful
review of this fact-specific record, we conclude that the district court should be
affirmed. So ordered. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
