United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted:  April 18, 1997.Decided May 9, 1997.

Before BOWMAN, WOLLMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.

1
Anthony Q. Harris appeals from an order of the District Court1 granting the motions of the defendants for summary judgment in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.  We conclude that on the undisputed facts the District Court correctly held that (1) Harris, who was an at-will employee, had no property interest in continued employment with the City of Pagedale, and therefore had no constitutional right to a pre-termination hearing, and (2) Harris waived any right he may have had to a name-clearing hearing.  Because the case does not warrant extended discussion, the judgment of the District Court is affirmed on the basis of that court's thorough and well-reasoned opinion.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
