PER CURIAM.

1
James C. Isakson and Robert D. Isakson, individually, and JCI and UNIC, through trustee Raymond Ehrman, appeal the district court's1 dismissal of their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint.   Appellants' arguments regarding alleged violations of 15 U.S.C. § 1125 were rejected by this court in Isakson v. First Nat'l Bank, 985 F.2d 984 (8th Cir.1993) (per curiam).   Appellants have failed to state a claim under section 1983 because they failed to " 'allege the violation of a right secured by the Constitution and laws of the United States.' "   See id. at 986 (quoting West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 48, 108 S. Ct. 2250, 2254, 101 L. Ed. 2d 40 (1988)).

Accordingly, we affirm.
