Before MURPHY, COLLOTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.
        Charles Mims, Jr., appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his employment-discrimination suit brought under Title VII and the
Americans with Disabilities Act, together with his state-law claims. After reviewing
the record de novo, viewing the evidence and all reasonable inferences from it in a
light most favorable to Mims, see Jacob-Mua v. Veneman, 

, 520 (8th Cir.
2002) (standard of review), we conclude that summary judgment was proper for the
reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the
district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Mims’s request for preparation of
a transcript at government expense and United Parcel Service’s motion for leave to
file a sur-reply.
                        ______________________________
