PER CURIAM:

     Kittrell B. Decator and Craig L. Scott appeal from the dis-

trict court's order denying their motion filed pursuant to Fed. R.

Civ. P. 12(b)(1), (6), to dismiss their convictions and sentences

for bank robbery, 18 U.S.C.A. § 2113(a) (West Supp. 1997). Appel-

lants contend that the Government does not have a private cause of
action under the bank robbery statute. Because their claims are

frivolous, we affirm the district court's dismissal of their

motion. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
