PER CURIAM.

Earnest Monk appeals the district court’s1

 adverse grant of summary judgment

in this diversity action. Having carefully reviewed the record, we agree with the

district court that Monk failed to offer the necessary expert testimony under Arkansas

product-liability law to survive summary judgment. Thus, we affirm. See 8th Cir.

47A(a).
