PER CURIAM:
The order of the District Court dismissing plaintiffs' third amended complaint is affirmed. We agree with the District Court that plaintiffs failed to set out "a short and plain statement of the claim" as required by Rule 8(a), Fed. R. Civ. P. We do not reach other grounds asserted as basis for the dismissal which is, of course, without prejudice.
Affirmed.
