The plaintiffs sued for wrongful foreclosure on their property. The district court granted summary judgment for the defendants. The brief filed by plaintiffs on this appeal contains only conclusions without reference to the record. No issues are acceptably presented in accord with the rules. The appeal is dismissed.
The reasons for the district court's summary judgment were stated in open court, but nothing of this ruling is brought forward in the record. That record stands 8 1/2 inches high.

Defendants have answered specifically with reference to contrary summary judgment evidence in the record.
The Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure require references to the record to support statements of fact. R. 28(a)(4), R. 28(e). The Fifth Circuit's Local Rule 28.2.3 states:
Every assertion in briefs regarding matter in the record shall be supported by a reference to the page number of the original record where the matter relied upon is to be found.
This dismissal will be reconsidered if, with motion for rehearing filed within 14 days, plaintiffs support the motion with a succinct statement of any material issue of fact raised by the summary judgment record, identifying the supporting evidence by page reference and also by reference to the contrary...
