Gillette v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Kathryn Gillette and Raif Szczepanski appeal the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in their diversity action for damages based on a prescription drug’s alleged side effect on Gillette. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that summary judgment was properly granted for the reasons stated by the district court. See Beaulieu v. Ludeman, 690 F.3d 1017, 1024 (8th Cir. 2012) (grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo, viewing record in light most favorable to nonmovant); Integrity Floorcovering, Inc. v. Broan-Nutone, LLC, 521 F.3d 914, 917 (8th Cir. 2008) (district court’s determina *539 tion of state law is* reviewed de novo). 2 Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
