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

PER CURIAM.

      In these consolidated appeals, postal workers James S. Carriere and Randy J.
Devitt appeal the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in their
employment-related actions against the postmaster general and their union. Having
carefully reviewed the record, see Jensen v. Henderson, 315 F.3d 854, 857 (8th Cir.
2002) (standard of review), we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court, see
8th Cir. R. 47B.
