Before COLLOTON, SHEPHERD, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Donna Gilbert, Julie Mohney, and Charmaine White Face appeal the district
court’s1 dismissal of their action challenging a tribal organization’s contract with the
Indian Health Service. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’
arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Jet Midwest Int’l Co. v. Jet
Midwest Grp., LLC, 953 F.3d 1041, 1044 (8th Cir. 2020) (abuse of discretion review
of denial of preliminary injunction; injunction cannot issue if there is no chance of
success on merits); Montin v. Moore, 846 F.3d 289, 292 (8th Cir. 2017) (de novo
review of Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) dismissal); Zimmerman v. HBO Affiliate Grp., 834
F.2d 1163, 1169-70 (3d Cir. 1987) (no abuse of discretion in finding class
certification motion was mooted by dismissal of complaint).

      The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________
