Before BEAM, FLOYD R. GIBSON, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Roy E. Cheatham appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment in
favor of St. Louis University. Having carefully reviewed the record in connection with
the parties' briefs, we conclude that the district court correctly granted summary
judgment. This appeal involves the application of simple and well-settled principles.
Extensive discussion would serve no useful precedential purpose. We therefore affirm
the district court without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
