Charles D. REACH, Jr., Appellant, v. ALLIEDSIGNAL, INC., Appellee.
    No. 00-3493.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted April 10, 2001.
    Decided June 14, 2001.
    Before LOKEN, Circuit Judge, GOLDBERG and BOGUE, District Judges.
    
    
      
      . The Honorable Richard W. Goldberg, Senior Judge for the United States Court of International Trade, sitting by designation.
    
    
      
      . The Honorable Andrew W. Bogue, Senior United States District Judge for the District of South Dakota, sitting by designation.
    
    
      
      . Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 46(b), the Chief Judge certified the existence of a judicial emergency necessitating the designation of a panel consisting of fewer than two members of the Court of Appeals.
    
   PER CURIAM.

Charles D. Reach, Jr. was terminated as part of a reduction-in-force from his employment with AlliedSignal, Inc. Reach alleged he was terminated because he took leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. The district court concluded that his disability was not the determining factor in his termination and no causal connection existed between the leave and the termination.

After a careful examination of the record, this Court finds there was sufficient evidence to support summary judgment in favor of AlliedSignal. The district court, therefore, properly granted the motion for summary judgment as no material facts were in dispute. Under Eighth Circuit Rule 47B, no further commentary is warranted.

Accordingly, we affirm.
