PER CURIAM.

      Triple S Alarm Co., Inc., appeals from the judgment of the District Court1
denying its motion for attorney fees and a penalty under Arkansas law or attorney fees

      1
       The Honorable Susan Webber Wright, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.
under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(b), in Triple S’s suit under
the Miller Act, 40 U.S.C. § 3131. After careful de novo review of the record, see
United States v. Brummels, 15 F.3d 769, 771 (8th Cir. 1994), and having considered
the parties’ submissions on appeal, we agree with the District Court that Triple S was
not entitled to the relief that it sought for the reasons explained in the court’s opinion.

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________
