PER CURIAM.

       Waymond Nobles appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his employment discrimination action. After de novo review, see Lynn v.
Deaconess Med. Ctr.-West Campus, 160 F.3d 484, 486 (8th Cir. 1998), we conclude
the district court’s judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the district court.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. Rule 47B.

      1
        The Honorable Russell G. Clark, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
