review, we conclude that the district court did not err in dismissing some claims as
duplicative of another pending litigation, see United States Fire Ins. Co. v. Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co.,
920 F.2d 487, 489 n.6 (8th Cir. 1990) (district court’s decision
to dismiss an action in deference to a pending action in another court is reviewed for
abuse of discretion); and in granting summary judgment as to the remaining claims,
see Madel v. United States Dep’t of Justice,
784 F.3d 448, 451 (8th Cir. 2015) (grant
of summary judgment is reviewed de novo; summary judgment is appropriate where
an agency proves that it has fully discharged its obligations under FOIA).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
