Before LOKEN, MELLOY, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.
       Stephanie Martin appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in her pro se Title VII employment-discrimination action. Upon careful
de novo review, see Tusing v. Des Moines Indep. Cmty. Sch. Dist., 639 F.3d 507, 514
(8th Cir. 2011), this court finds no basis for reversal and concludes that the district
court did not abuse its discretion in denying Martin’s motions for appointment of
counsel. See Phillips v. Jasper County Jail, 437 F.3d 791, 794 (8th Cir. 2006)
(district court’s denial of appointed counsel will be reversed only if it constitutes
abuse of discretion). The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.

        The Honorable Fernando J. Gaitan, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Western District of Missouri.
