PER CURIAM.
In these consolidated appeals, Flomo Tealeh appeals the district court’s1
adverse grant of summary judgment and award of costs. After careful review of the
record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Banks
v. John Deere & Co., 829 F.3d 661, 665 (8th Cir. 2016) (grant of summary judgment
is reviewed de novo); see also Winter v. Novartis Pharms. Corp., 739 F.3d 405, 411
(8th Cir. 2014) (legal issues on award of costs are reviewed de novo; actual award of
costs is reviewed for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
