Before FAGG and MURPHY, Circuit Judges, and SMITH,* District Judge.
                           _____________

PER CURIAM.

        Kathy Casper appeals the adverse grant of summary judgment on Casper's claims
for sex discrimination based on a disparate impact analysis and for the intentional
infliction of emotional distress. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties'
briefs, we conclude the district court correctly ruled that Casper neither established a
prima facie case of disparate impact under Title VII nor a state law cause of action for
the intentional infliction of emotional distress. Because the controlling law is clear, our
review satisfies us that an opinion would have no precedential value in this fact-
intensive case. We thus affirm the district court without further discussion. See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.
