Before BOWMAN, BEAM, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Dorothy Davis brought a § 1983 action and a related state action under Missouri
law against the Jackson County Board of Election Commissioners and various other
parties. Ms. Davis claimed that she was constructively discharged in retaliation for
engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment. The District Court1 granted
summary judgment for all defendants.

       We have reviewed the order of the District Court and conclude that no error of
law appears. The judgment of the District Court is affirmed for the reasons stated in
that court's order. See 8th Cir. Rule 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.




      1
      The Honorable Dean Whipple, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the
Western District of Missouri.
