George Spann appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his Title VII employment-discrimination suit against his former employer, Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (AFDA). Having carefully reviewed the record, see Kincaid v. City of Omaha, 378 F.3d 799, 803-04 (8th Cir. 2004) (de novo standard of review), we agree with the district court that Spann failed to establish that AFDA’s proffered legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the adverse actions taken against Spann— continued performance deficiencies — were pretextual. See Gilooly v. Mo. Dep’t of Health & Senior Servs., 421 F.3d 734, 739 (8th Cir. 2005) (burden-shifting analysis). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
