  PER CURIAM.
 

  Shirley Hall and Vada Smith appeal the district court’s
  
   1
  
  adverse grant of summary judgment in their lawsuit brought on behalf of Robert Hall, the deceased son and brother of Hall and Smith, respectively, against Union Pacific Railroad Company. Hall and Smith contend the district court erred in concluding a $250,000 settlement they reached with Union Pacific seven days after Robert Hall died could not be enforced because neither of the attorneys who negotiated the settlement were aware of Robert Hall’s death when the settlement was reached and the agency of the attorney acting on behalf of Robert Hall had ceased at the time of Robert’s death. Hall and Smith further contend the district court erred in determining Robert Hall was an undiscovered trespasser on railroad property when the injuries giving rise to this lawsuit occurred.
 

  Having carefully reviewed the record and considered the arguments advanced by Hall and Smith, we conclude the district court properly granted summary judgment and there is no basis for reversal. Accordingly, we affirm for the-reasons set forth in the district court’s well-reasoned -opinion.
  
   See
  
  8th Cir. R. 47B.
