FAGG, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
Summary judgment was properly entered in favor of Heath’s employer. The employer’s supplemental motion for summary judgment was supported by an evidentiary showing that Heath’s employment was terminated because of excessive, unexplained absences from work. Instead of countering with specific facts revealing a genuine issue for trial, Heath chose to rest upon the allegations of her amended complaint. At that point summary judgment for the employer was proper. See Brown v. Trans World Airlines, Inc., 746 F.2d 1354, 1358-59 (8th Cir.1984). I would thus affirm the judgment of the district court.
