Before COLLOTON, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                        ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Valentino Warren appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his civil action asserting unlawful employment discrimination under Title
VII. Upon careful de novo review, we conclude that summary judgment was properly
granted. See Torgerson v. City of Rochester, 643 F.3d 1031, 1042, 1046 (8th Cir.
2011) (this court reviews grant of summary judgment de novo; summary judgment
is proper if pleadings, discovery and disclosure materials on file, and any affidavits
show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that movant is entitled
to judgment as matter of law); see also Edmund v. MidAmerican Energy Co., 299
F.3d 679, 686-87 (8th Cir. 2002) (federal courts do not sit as super personnel
department reviewing wisdom or fairness of business judgments made by employers,
except to extent those judgments involve intentional unlawful discrimination).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable James Moody, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
