PER CURIAM.

       Linda Leonard appeals from the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary

Upon de novo review, see Evers v. Alliant Techsystems, Inc.,

       Specifically, Leonard did not present evidence establishing a prima facie case
of age discrimination or retaliation. See Erenberg v. Methodist Hosp., 
357 F.3d 787
,

Automation Co., 
278 F.3d 830
, 836 (8th Cir. 2002) (age discrimination claims
brought under Missouri Human Rights Act subject to same analysis that controls

McDonnell Douglas Corp., 
37 F.3d 379
, 382 (8th Cir. 1994) (elements of age
