Hoangson Tran appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his Title VII discrimination and retaliation action. After reviewing the record de novo, viewing the evidence and all reasonable inferences from it in a light most favorable to Tran, see Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006) (standard of review), we conclude summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
