Before MURPHY, ARNOLD, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      In this action brought by the Secretary of the United States Department of
Labor for violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, defendants Hill Country Farms,
d/b/a Henry’s Turkey Services, and Kenneth Henry, individually, appeal the district
court’s1 adverse grant of partial summary judgment and the court’s final judgment.

      1
        The Honorable Harold D. Vietor, United States District Judge for the Southern
District of Iowa.
      Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we
agree with the district court’s thorough and well-reasoned summary judgment
analysis, see Chao v. Barbeque Ventures, LLC, 547 F.3d 938, 941 (8th Cir. 2008) (de
novo review of summary judgment decision); Walsh v. United States, 31 F.3d 696,
698 (8th Cir. 1994) (where unresolved issues are primarily legal rather than factual,
summary judgment is particularly appropriate), and we find no basis for reversing the
judgment. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
