PER CURIAM.

       Gabriel Chehadeh and Chedco Development, Inc. (Chedco) appeal from the
district court's1 order dismissing Chehadeh's discrimination claim brought under 42


      1
        The Honorable Jonathan Lebedoff, United States Magistrate Judge for the
District of Minnesota, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent
of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 1982 and various state law claims brought by Chehadeh and

       After carefully reviewing the record and the parties' submissions, we conclude
that the district court did not err. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district
court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. Moreover, on the court's own motion, we order appellant
Gabriel Chehadeh to pay Roffe Containers, Inc., $5000 as attorney fees for bringing
this appeal. See 8th Cir. R. 47C(a).
