Before WOLLMAN, MELLOY, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________
PER CURIAM.

      Tommy Stone, proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in this declaratory judgment action based on a contract dispute.2
Upon careful de novo review, see Eng v. Cummings, McClorey, Davis & Ancho,
PLC, 611 F.3d 428, 432 (8th Cir. 2010) (standard of review), we find no basis for
reversal, and we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                       ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable John T. Maughmer, United States Magistrate Judge for the
Western 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).
      2
        As Stone is proceeding pro se on appeal, we note that he represents only
himself in this matter. See Rowland v. Cal. Men’s Colony, 506 U.S. 194, 201-02
(1993) (corporations, partnerships, or associations cannot appear in federal court
other than through licensed attorney).
