PER CURIAM.
Dale and Isaac Rutherford appeal the order of the district court 1 which granted
summary judgment to Ahmed Ali Bukannan and his brothers on their claims for
breach of contract and conversion. A jury determined the Rutherfords were liable for
fraud and constructive fraud in the amount of $300,000, and that the amount of

damages for which the Rutherfords were liable for breach of contract and conversion
was $152,000. The jury also awarded punitive damages of $450,000. Having
carefully reviewed the record, we conclude that the district court properly granted
summary judgment on the breach-of-contract and conversion claims in favor of the
plaintiffs. See Get Away Club v. Coleman, 969 F.2d 664, 666 (8th Cir. 1992).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
