PER CURIAM.
George W. Carlisle, Jr., appeals the district court’s adverse grant of summary judgment in his employment-discrimination action. Upon careful de novo review, see Jacob-Mua v. Veneman, 289 F.3d 517, 520 (8th Cir.2002), we conclude that summary judgment was properly granted for the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable Henry E. Autrey, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
