Ikechi Kallys Albert appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his action asserting employment discrimination, retaliation, and state law claims. After reviewing the record de novo, viewing the evidence and all reasonable inferences from it in a light most favorable to Albert, see Jacob-Mua v. Veneman, 289 F.3d 517, 520 (8th Cir. 2002) (standard of review), we conclude summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we deny Albert’s pending motions and we affirm. See 8th Cm. R. 47B.
