Lionel Edwards appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his employment discrimination action. After reviewing the record de novo, in the light most favorable to Edwards, see Arnold v. Nursing & Rehab. Ctr. at Good Shepherd, LLC, 471 F.3d 843, 845 (8th Cir. 2006) (standard of review), we conclude that summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the district court. We also decline to consider Edwards’s new arguments on appeal. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ,
