Before MELLOY, BOWMAN, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.
       In this civil rights action, Steven Reed appeals the District Court’s1 dismissal
of his claims against Choice Hotel International and the Court’s grant of summary
judgment in favor of the City of Springfield, Missouri.2 After careful de novo review,
see Schaaf v. Residential Funding Corp., 517 F.3d 544, 549 (8th Cir.), cert. denied,
129 S. Ct. 222 (2008); Anderson v. Larson, 327 F.3d 762, 767 (8th Cir. 2003), we
affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B. We dismiss all pending motions as moot.
                          ______________________________

defendants Muhammed Salam, the Springfield Police Department, Steve Stepp, John
Does, Jane Does, and Gail Ann Campbell. See Pritchett v. Cottrell, Inc., 512 F.3d
1057, 1059 n.2 (8th Cir. 2008) (noting that points not meaningfully argued in an
opening brief are waived).
