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. A true copy.

Attest:

CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
