Donald R. Tyes was employed at the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP). After Tyes applied for and was denied several positions, he brought this discrimination lawsuit against the MSHP and several of its officers alleging race discrimination, retaliation, and disparate impact. *539 The district court granted summary judgment to the defendants in a 127-page decision. The district court first concluded Tyes had suffered no adverse employment action by denial of a lateral transfer and Tye thus failed to establish a prima facie case. The district court also concluded Tye failed to create a genuine issue of fact regarding whether the MSHP’s reason for the denial was pretextual. On appeal, Tyes argues the district court committed error in not finding pretext, citing Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Products, Inc., 530 U.S. 133, 120 S.Ct. 2097, 147 L.Ed.2d 105 (2000). Having carefully reviewed the record, we affirm on the basis of the district court’s thorough summary judgment ruling. * See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
