Before BYE, COLLOTON, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Following this court’s affirmance of the grant of summary judgment to
defendant Mediq/PRN Life Support Systems, Inc. (Mediq) in Harsh Katoch’s
employment-discrimination action, see Katoch v. Mediq/PRN Life Support Sys., Inc.,
223 Fed. Appx. 532 (8th Cir. 2007) (unpublished per curiam), the district court1
entered the orders which are the subject of these consolidated appeals. We find no
basis, and Katoch and his counsel have provided none, for reversing the district

Tenkku v. Normandy Bank, 
348 F.3d 737

findings); or sanctioning Katoch’s counsel for contempt, see Jake’s, Ltd. v. City of
Coates, 
356 F.3d 896
