United States Court of Appeals,
Eighth Circuit.

Submitted: April 14, 1993.
Filed: April 30, 1993.

Before FAGG, and MAGILL, Circuit Judges, and STUART,* Senior District Judge.

PER CURIAM.

This case has been submitted to us on the briefs. Arkansas gas consumers appeal the district court's dismissal of their RICO and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims against gas companies, a public utility, and related parties. Cullum v. Arkla, Inc., 797 F. Supp. 725 (E.D. Ark. 1992). Having considered the record and the parties' arguments, we conclude the district court's decision is clearly correct. See id. at 728-31. We thus affirm the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

* The HONORABLE WILLIAM C. STUART, Senior United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa, sitting by designation
