Before WOLLMAN, MURPHY, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Hugh Cook appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in
his employment-discrimination action against his former employer, B & W Company.
Upon careful de novo review, see Johnson v. Blaukat, 

, 1112 (8th Cir.
2006) (standard of review), we conclude that summary judgment was properly granted
for the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
                        ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.
