George Carlisle appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his Title VII action alleging that the Missouri Department of Mental Health discriminated against him on the basis of his race when it failed to hire him. Upon de novo review, see Turner v. Honeywell Fed. Mfg. & Techs., L.L.C., 336 F.3d 716, 719-20 (8th Cir. 2003), we conclude that summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
