John E. Ampleman appeals from the district court's1 entry of judgment as a matter of law in favor of defendants in his diversity defamation action. Having reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that the district court did not err in so ruling. The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
