Drye v. University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

In this action claiming employment-related discrimination and retaliation, Betty Marie Drye appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment, and the court’s denial of her motion to alter or amend the judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e). Upon careful de novo review, this court finds no basis for reversing the summary judgment decision. See Wierman v. Casey’s Gen. Stores, 638 F.3d 984, 993 (8th Cir. 2011) (standard for reviewing summary judgment decision). This court further concludes that the district court did not clearly abuse its discretion in denying Drye’s Rule 59(e) motion. See United States v. Metro. St. Louis Sewer Dist., 440 F.3d 930, 933 (8th Cir. 2006) (standard for reviewing denial of Rule 59(e) motion).

This court affirms. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
