District of Arkansas.
a matter of law. There are no material facts in dispute. After careful de novo review
of the record as well as the parties' briefing on appeal, see Anderson v. Durham D &
M, L.L.C., 606 F.3d 513, 518 (8th Cir. 2010), we conclude that summary judgment
was properly granted for the reasons stated by the district court in its well-reasoned
analysis. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
