Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Joanne Burrow appeals the district court's adverse grant of summary judgment in her employment-discrimination action. Having conducted de novo review of the record, see Wierman v. Casey's Gen. Stores, 638 F.3d 984, 993 (8th Cir.2011), and having carefully considered Burrow's arguments for reversal, we agree with the district court that Burrow failed to create any trialworthy issues on whether her race was a contributing factor in the adverse employment actions, as required for a claim under the Missouri Human Rights Act (MHRA), see EEOC v. Con-Way Freight, Inc., 622 F.3d 933, 938 (8th Cir.2010) (under MHRA plaintiff need only prove that race was contributing factor in employment decision; Missouri courts have defined contributing factor as one that contributed share in anything or has part in producing effect). The district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable Thomas C. Mummert, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
. We do not address the claims Burrow has abandoned on appeal. See Griffith v. City of Des Moines, 387 F.3d 733, 739 (8th Cir.2004).
