Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Gene Brehmer appeals the district court's adverse grant of summary judgment on his claims brought under the Family and Medical Leave Act and state law. After reviewing the record de novo, and viewing it in the light most favorable to Brehmer, see Woods v. DaimleChrysler Corp., 409 F.3d 984, 990 (8th Cir.2005) (summary judgment standard of review); Koch Eng'g Co. v. Gibralter Cas. Co., 78 F.3d 1291, 1294 (8th Cir.1996) (standard of review for determination of state law), we conclude that summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable Joan N. Ericksen, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
