                         ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Melissa Lee appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment
in her action claiming employment discrimination and retaliation. Having reviewed

      1
       The Honorable Brian C. Wimes, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that summary judgment
was properly granted for the reasons stated in the district court’s order, see Peterson
v. Kopp, 754 F.3d 594, 598 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review); and that the district
court did not err in not recusing itself sua sponte, see United States v. Rubashkin, 655
F.3d 849, 858 (8th Cir. 2011) (plain error review).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________
