review, we conclude that the district court’s decision was correct. See Torgerson v.

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

review); see also Edmund v. MidAmerican Energy Co., 299 F.3d 679, 686 (8th Cir.

2002) (federal courts do not sit as super personnel department reviewing wisdom or

fairness of businessjudgments made by employers, except to extent those judgments

involve intentional discrimination). 

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