[UNPUBLISHED]
PER CURIAM.

In this appeal after remand, Rhonda and Keith Thompson challenge the district court’s[1] denial of their motion to award a statutory penalty, attorney fees, and prejudgment interest against their insurer, Southern Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company. After careful review, we find no basis for reversal. See All-Ways Logistics, Inc. v. USA Truck, Inc., 583 F.3d 511, 518 (8th Cir. 2009) (district court’s denial of prejudgment interest reviewed for abuse of discretion); Dupps v. Travelers Ins. Co., 80 F.3d 312, 313 (8th Cir. 1996) (de novo review of district court’s application of state law); Running M Farms, Inc. v. Farm Bureau Mut. Ins. Co., 371 Ark. 308, 265 S.W.3d 740, 745
(2007); State Farm Mut. Ins. Co. v. Thomas, 316 Ark. 345, 871 S.W.2d 571, 573 (1994). Accordingly, we affirm See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
