PER CURIAM.
-4-
Kevin Laughlin, Edward Dyck, Carrie Alspaw, and Mark Dotzler appeal the
district court's orders dismissing for lack of personal jurisdiction their claims against
Ross Perot, Mark Alan Blahnik, and The Calahan & Gibbons Group, and granting
summary judgment in favor of U.S. Datalink, Inc. and TRW, Inc. See Dotzler v. Perot,
899 F. Supp. 416 (E.D. Mo. 1995); Dotzler v. Perot, 914 F. Supp. 328, 330 (E.D. Mo.
1996). Although the district court's rulings did not dispose of all the claims and parties,
the district court entered final judgment for these appellees under Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 54(b). Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we find
no errors of law in the district court's analysis. We thus affirm the district court's
rulings. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
We deny the appellants' motions to supplement the record on appeal, and deny
all other motions on appeal as moot.
A true copy.
Attest:
CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
