PER CURIAM.

Anthony Lewis appeals the district court’s adverse grant ofsummary judgment

1

in his Title VII action asserting race-based discrimination, among other claims. Upon

careful de novo review, we conclude that the district court did not err in its decision. 

See Torgerson v. City of Rochester, 643 F.3d 1031, 1042 (8th Cir. 2011) (en banc)

(standard of review; summary judgment is proper if pleadings, discovery and

disclosure materials on file, and any affidavits show that there is no genuine issue as

to any material fact and that movant is entitled to judgment as matter of law); see also

Moody v. Vozel, 771 F.3d 1093, 1097 (8th Cir. 2014) (in assessing whether reason

employer gave for discharge is pretextual, critical inquiry is not whether plaintiff

actually engaged in conduct for which he was discharged, but whether employer in

good faith believed he was guilty of conduct justifying discharge).

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