PER CURIAM.

Gary Brown appeals the district court’s1

 adverse grant of summary judgment

in his employment-discrimination action. We agree with appellee that Brown has

failed to comply with the rules related to briefing, see Harris v. Folk Constr. Co., 138

F.3d 365, 366-67 n.1 (8th Cir. 1998) (failure to assert in brief grounds for reversal of

certain orders amounts to waiver of issues on appeal), and the only issue he appears

to raise--his counsel’s purportedly deficient performance--is not a basis for reversal,

see Glick v. Henderson, 855 F.2d 536, 541 (8th Cir. 1988). Even if the merits were

properly before us, we agree with the district court’s application of the law to the

evidence contained in the summary judgment record. See Gilooly v. Mo. Dep’t of

Health & Human Servs., 421 F.3d 734, 738 (8th Cir. 2005) (de novo standard of

review). 

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
