Before BYE, SMITH, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

      George Carlisle appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment
in his Title VII action alleging that the Missouri Department of Mental Health
discriminated against him on the basis of his race when it failed to hire him. Upon de
novo review, see Turner v. Honeywell Fed. Mfg. & Techs., L.L.C., 

,
719-20 (8th Cir. 2003), we conclude that summary judgment was proper for the
reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________


      1
       The Honorable Stephen N. Limbaugh, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Missouri.
