Before SMITH, BOWMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

       After Minnesota State University, Mankato notified Shekhar Patil that it would
not renew his appointment as an assistant professor, he filed this civil suit raising a
variety of federal and state claims against the University and the Inter Faculty
Organization, a labor organization that represents University faculty. After a hearing,
the District Court1 gave thorough consideration to each of Patil’s claims, granted the
pending motions to dismiss, denied Patil’s motion for default judgment, and
dismissed his complaint. We have carefully reviewed the pleadings, the report and
recommendation, the District Court’s order, and the briefs in this matter, and we find
no basis for reversal. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                       ______________________________

      The Honorable John R. Tunheim, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable Janie S.
