PER CURIAM.

       Waymond Nobles appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his employment discrimination action. After de novo review, see Lynn v.
Deaconess Med. Ctr.-West Campus, 

, 486 (8th Cir. 1998), we conclude
the district court’s judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the district court.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. Rule 47B.

      1
        The Honorable Russell G. Clark, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
