McKAY, Chief Judge.

Plaintiffs brought this diversity action for breach of contract and professional negligence to recover damages allegedly incurred when a default judgment was entered against them in a state interpleader action after counsel, i.e., Defendants, failed to file a timely answer to a cross-claim asserted therein. They now appeal from a district court order granting Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissing the case.1
