Defendants-Appellees. ________________________________________________________________ Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Carroll County, Gary L. McMinimee, Judge. The plaintiffs appeal following the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants. AFFIRMED. Patricia M. Hulting and Patricia K. Wengert, Des Moines, for appellant. Robert Kohorst, Harlan, for appellant. Daniel L. Hartnett and Marci L. Iseminger of Crary, Huff, Inkster, Sheehan, Riggenberg, Hartnett & Storm, P.C., Sioux City, for appellees Donald Irlbeck and Edward Irlbeck, Jr., individually. R. Scott Rhinehart of Rhinehart Law, P.C., Sioux City, for appellee Edward Irlebeck, Jr., as executor of the estate of Katherine F. Irlbeck. Considered by Vogel, P.J., and Vaitheswaran and Eisenhauer, JJ. 2 PER CURIAM The plaintiffs appeal the district court’s order that granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants and dismissed their claim for undue influence. Based upon the record before the district court on summary judgment, we agree that the plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate a genuine issue of material fact to support their claim for undue influence against the defendants. We therefore affirm without further opinion, pursuant to Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.24(1) and (4). AFFIRMED.
