Before FAGG, LOKEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

     Otis B. Gaston appeals the district court's grant of summary
judgment to Stone Container Corporation on Gaston's employment
discrimination claims.     The district court correctly denied
Gaston's failure-to-promote claim because Gaston failed to exhaust
his administrative remedies. See Tart v. Hill Behan Lumber Co., 31
F.3d 668, 671 (8th Cir. 1994). The district court also correctly
denied Gaston's retaliatory and discriminatory discipline claims
because Gaston failed to respond to Stone Container's motion for
summary judgment and failed to establish the existence of a factual
issue. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c), (e); Celotex Corp. v. Catrett,
477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of
the district court.
