Before MELLOY, COLLOTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Erma Evans appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of partial summary
judgment in her diversity lawsuit seeking insurance benefits and punitive damages for,
inter alia, bad faith and negligence. After viewing the record de novo, see Jacob-Mua
v. Veneman, 289 F.3d 517, 520 (8th Cir. 2002), we conclude that summary judgment

      1
        The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
was proper. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
