                                Pasadena, California

Before:       SILVERMAN and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges, and FOGEL, District
              Judge***

       Plaintiffs-Appellants St. Anthony Fish Farm, Inc. and Greg Phillips

(collectively, “Plaintiffs”) appeal the district court’s dismissal of their action

challenging a trustee’s sale of real property. The district court concluded that a

prior bankruptcy court decision had adjudicated the validity of the trustee’s sale

and that Plaintiffs’ claims thus were barred by the doctrine of collateral estoppel.

       We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We adopt the well-reasoned

decision of the district court.

       AFFIRMED.




       **
        The panel unanimously concludes that this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
