PER CURIAM.

Alfredo Perez Pena appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment that dismissed his claim of racial discrimination in hiring against Red Wing Shoe Company brought under Title VII and the Minnesota Human Rights Act. Pena also appeals the district court's denial of his motion to compel a response to discovery and the award of sanctions imposed for bringing that motion. We have reviewed the parties' briefs and the record, and we affirm the dismissal of the claim on the basis of the well- reasoned order of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also affirm the denial of the discovery motion and the award of sanctions on the basis of the magistrate judge's thorough order as affirmed by the district court. See id.
