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

PER CURIAM.

        Gary Werner appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment
in his civil action. After reviewing the record de novo, viewing the evidence in a light
most favorable to Werner, see Lawyer v. City of Council Bluffs, 

, 1103
(8th Cir. 2004) (standard of review), we conclude that summary judgment was proper
for the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.


      1
       The Honorable Carol E. Jackson, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Missouri.
