Before LOKEN, KELLY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.
        Eddie Pittman appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his pro se Title VII
action against his former employer, ABB Inc. Upon careful de novo review, see
Plymouth Cty. v. Merscorp, Inc., 774 F.3d 1155, 1158-59 (8th Cir. 2014) (standard
of review), this court agrees with the district court’s conclusion that Pittman failed
to state claims of race discrimination, hostile work environment, and retaliation under
Title VII, see Young v. Builders Steel Co., 754 F.3d 573, 577 (8th Cir. 2014)
(discussing requirements for race-discrimination claim); Jackman v. Fifth Judicial
Dist. Dep’t of Corr. Servs., 728 F.3d 800, 804 (8th Cir. 2013) (discussing
requirements for retaliation claim); Singletary v. Mo. Dep’t of Corr., 423 F.3d 886,
892-93 (8th Cir. 2005) (discussing requirements for hostile-work-environment claim).

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

      The Honorable Willie J. Epps, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the
