Before BEAM, FAGG, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       The court has considered the briefs and heard oral arguments in this Medicare
reimbursement appeal. Having reviewed the record in the context of Lutheran Health
Care Association's contentions, we find the record supports the district court's
decisions. Because the parties' submissions show they are thoroughly familiar with the
issues before the court as well as the controlling legal principles, we conclude that an
extensive discussion would serve no useful purpose. We agree with the district court's
rulings and thus affirm for the reasons stated in its memorandum and opinion without
further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

            Attest:

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