Before GRASZ, BEAM, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM. In this employment discrimination action, Peter Garrison appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment, based on a release in a settlement agreement. Having carefully reviewed the record and the arguments on appeal, we conclude the district court did not err in granting summary judgment. See Torgerson v. City of Rochester, 643 F.3d 1031, 1042 (8th Cir. 2011) (en banc) (reviewing de novo a grant of summary judgment); see also Pilon v. Univ. of Minn., 710 F.2d 466, 468 (8th Cir. 1983) (voluntary release bars future action on all claims covered by release). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Wilhelmina M. Wright, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Hildy Bowbeer, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
