PER CURIAM.
Gary Fuller brought a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against the members of Lincoln
University’s Board of Curators, seeking damages against them in their individual
capacities for constitutional and state law violations. He appeals only the district
court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment on his state law fraudulent-concealment
claim. Upon de novo review, see Rademeyer v. Farris,
284 F.3d 833, 836 (8th Cir.
2002), we conclude that judgment for defendants was appropriate. Undisputed
evidence showed that Mr. Fuller’s injury--whether it was the cancellation of his
enrollment, or his non-reinstatement--did not result from concealment of a certain
University policy, but from Mr. Fuller’s failure to comply with requirements of which
he had knowledge. See Dechant v. Saaman Corp.,
63 S.W.3d 293, 295 (Mo. Ct. App.
2001) (elements of claim for nondisclosure or fraudulent misrepresentation).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
