Before BOWMAN, Chief Judge, HEANEY and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                            _____________

PER CURIAM.

      This has been an unduly protracted litigation. The District Court1 granted partial
summary judgment against Winnebago South, Inc. and in favor of plaintiffs on their
claims under the Interstate Land Sales Disclosure Act and certified its interlocutory
judgment for immediate appeal. Finding that partial summary judgment was correctly

      1
      The Honorable D. Brook Bartlett, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Western District of Missouri.

                                          -2-
granted and that an opinion in this fact-intensive case would lack precedential value,
we affirm on the basis of the District Court's entirely adequate opinion.

      The judgment of the District Court is

      AFFIRMED. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
