PER CURIAM.
Bishwadeo and Dewannie Murril appeal the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in their race discrimination lawsuit against the company with whom
they contracted to provide hatching eggs. After careful review, we conclude summary
judgment was proper because the Murrils failed to show that they performed according
to the company’s legitimate expectations or that the company’s stated reason for
terminating the contract--the Murrils’ poor performance--was pretextual. See Hughes
