PER CURIAM.
Darren Smith appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment
in his employment discrimination action. After careful review of the record and the
parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that the grant of summary judgment was
proper. See Banks v. John Deere & Co., 829 F.3d 661, 665 (8th Cir. 2016) (grant of
summary judgment is reviewed de novo). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
