    Before BYE, BOWMAN, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
    ________________
    PER CURIAM.
    John W. Tyler (“Tyler”), an African-American, claims that the Missouri
    Highways and Transportation Commission (“MHTC”) denied him promotions
    because of his race and retaliated against him after he filed a discrimination complaint.
    The district court1 granted summary judgment in favor of MHTC.
    1
    The Honorable Audrey G. Fleissig, United States Magistrate Judge for the
    Eastern District of Missouri, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by
    After a careful review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that the
    district court correctly granted summary judgment in favor of MHTC and that an
    extended opinion would add nothing of substance to the well-reasoned opinion of the
    district court. Therefore, we summarily affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.2
    ______________________________
    consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
    2
    We also grant Tyler’s motion for leave to file a corrected brief and deny
    MHTC’s motion to dismiss.
