PER CURIAM.

The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Judge for the Western 1

District of Missouri.

Foundation and Lincoln Electric Company. Upon careful de novo review, we

conclude that Emerson’s complaint was time-barred, and that her arguments on

appeal are unavailing. See Ashley Cnty., Ark. v. Pfizer, Inc., 552 F.3d 659, 665 (8th

Cir. 2009) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district

court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. As to the motions filed by the parties in this court, we

grant appellees’ motion to seal documents to the extent the clerk’s office determines

that any documents are governed by Eighth Circuit Rule 25A(h) or Federal Rule of

Civil Procedure 5.2, and we deny all pending motions in all other respects.
