Before BYE, BOWMAN, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

      In these consolidated appeals, postal workers James S. Carriere and Randy J.
Devitt appeal the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in their
employment-related actions against the postmaster general and their union. Having
carefully reviewed the record, see Jensen v. Henderson, 

, 857 (8th Cir.
2002) (standard of review), we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court, see
8th Cir. R. 47B.
                       ______________________________
