PER CURIAM.

In this employment-discrimination case, Gail Bates appeals from the order of the District Court1 granting summary judgment to Morrison Management Specialists. We have carefully reviewed the record and considered Bates’s arguments and conclude that summary judgment was proper. See Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. ______________________________
