Jessie Benford appeals from the district court’s 1 order granting judgment as a matter of law (JAML) in his employment discrimination action. Having reviewed de novo the record and the parties’ briefs, we agree with the district court’s bases for granting JAML to Home Depot. See Arabian Agric. Servs. Co. v. Chief Indus., Inc., 309 F.3d 479, 482 (8th Cir. 2002) (de novo review of JAML; JAML should not be granted unless party has been fully heard on issue and there is no legally sufficient evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury to find for that party on that issue).

Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
