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.

Appellate Case: 05-2016 Page: 1 Date Filed: 12/22/2005 Entry ID: 1988876
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.

-2-

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
