PER CURIAM.
Virgil O. Hooker, Dora E. Hooker, David O. Hooker, and Gloria J. Hooker sued
an Arkansas state judge, alleging he had violated their constitutional rights by making
certain rulings in a prior foreclosure action brought against the Hookers. The district
court1 granted, on the basis of absolute judicial immunity, defendant&s motion to
dismiss, and denied the Hookers& postjudgment motions. Having carefully reviewed
the record, we conclude the district court&s rulings were clearly correct. Accordingly,
we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
