Before GRUENDER, BEAM, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.
       In this action seeking relief under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA),
Gertrude Nyanjega and Duba Roba appeal after the district court1 declined to take
judicial notice of certain documents and granted summary judgment in favor of
defendants. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on
appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Cravens v. Smith, 610 F.3d 1019, 1029 (8th
Cir. 2010) (district court does not abuse its discretion by declining to take judicial
notice of irrelevant materials; moreover, any error in failing to take judicial notice is
not grounds for reversal unless appellant is prejudiced by the error); Simmons v.
Smith, 888 F.3d 994, 998 (8th Cir. 2018), cert. denied, 139 S. Ct. 807 (2019)
(reviewing de novo decision of district court granting summary judgment in favor of
federal agency under APA); Sierra Club v. Envtl. Prot. Agency, 252 F.3d 943, 947
(8th Cir. 2001) (arbitrary and capricious standard of review affords agency decisions
a “high degree of deference”). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________




      1
       The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
Steven E. Rau, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
