Franklin H. Burch appeals the district court’s * adverse grant of summary judgment in Burch’s employment-related lawsuit. After careful review of the record, see Eddings v. City of Hot Springs, Ark., 323 F.3d 596, 600 (8th Cir. 2003) (standard of review), we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court’s thorough and well-reasoned opinion, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and we also deny Burch’s pending motions.
