1Opinion of the CourtMahan, P.J.
The plaintiffs appeal from a district court ruling granting the defendants summary judgment. The ruling dismissed the plaintiffs’ class action suit, in which they sought a declaratory judgment that they were entitled to portions of the proceeds from a 1998 settlement entered into between various tobacco companies and several states, including the State of Iowa. The plaintiffs contend the district court erred by failing to recognize that, in light of certain state and federal statutory pro visions, a portion of the settlement belongs to them. We affirm.
