Darnell Forest appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his employment-discrimination action. After reviewing the record de novo, and viewing the record in the light most favorable to Forest, see Woods v. Daimler-Chrysler Corp., 409 F.3d 984, 990 (8th Cir. 2005) (summary judgment standard of review); Koch Eng’g Co. v. Gibralter Cas. Co., 78 F.3d 1291, 1294 (8th Cir. 1996) (standard of review for determination of state law), we conclude summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated in the district court’s thorough opinion. We affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
