Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and RILEY, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________
PER CURIAM.

       Leonard Stelmaszek appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his action claiming employment-related discrimination and retaliation.
Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we agree with the
district court’s reasoning and conclude that summary judgment was properly granted,
see Peterson v. Kopp, 754 F.3d 594, 598 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review); and that
the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion for a new trial, see
United States v. Metro. St. Louis Sewer Dist., 440 F.3d 930, 933 (8th Cir. 2006)
(standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                         ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable John M. Gerrard, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.
