Before LOKEN, MURPHY, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

    Robert L. Bland appeals the district court's1 order denying his motion for
summary judgment and granting summary judgment for O.P. & C.M.I.A. (the union).

      1
       The Honorable Scott O. Wright, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
After de novo review, see Torgerson v. City of Rochester, 643 F.3d 1031, 1042-43
(8th Cir. 2011) (en banc), we affirm. We conclude that summary judgment for the
union was appropriate. As Bland failed to produce evidence that the union referred
union members outside the protected class for work during the time in question, he
failed to support his Title VII claim that the union "fail[ed] or refuse[d] to refer [him]
for employment" on account of his race. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(c)(2); c.f. Jackson v.
United Parcel Serv., Inc., 643 F.3d 1081, 1086 (8th Cir. 2011).

      Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
