PER CURIAM.

Elizabeth Dunham, as personal representative for Douglas Dunham, and John

and Christine Fomera appeal from final orders entered in the District Court for the

1

Eastern District of Missouri granting summary judgment in favor of the City of

O’Fallon and other defendants on their employment discrimination and related claims.
-5-

Fomera v. City of O’Fallon, No. 4:95CV00238 (GFG) (E.D. Mo. Dec. 31, 1996)

(memorandum and order); Dunham v. City of O’Fallon, 945 F. Supp. 1256 (E.D. Mo.

1996). 

The district court held that appellants’ employment discrimination and retaliation

claims were barred by the applicable 90-day statute of limitations, 945 F. Supp. at

1260-62, citing Garfield v. J.C. Nichols Real Estate, 57 F.3d 662, 666 (8th Cir.)

(holding dismissal without prejudice does not toll running of statute of limitations on

either federal or state employment discrimination claim), cert. denied, 116 S. Ct. 380

(1995). The district court also held that Elizabeth Dunham was bound by the

allegations in Douglas Dunham’s original and refiled complaints that he had received

a right to sue letter for his age discrimination claim. Id. at 1261. The district court also

held the undisputed facts and applicable law did not support the state law claims for

intentional infliction of emotional distress and loss of consortium. Id. at 1262-63. 

We have carefully reviewed the record and we agree with the analysis of the

district court as set forth in its well-reasoned memorandum and order. See 8th Cir. R.

47B. Accordingly, we affirm the judgments of the district court. 

A true copy.
