        The Honorable Catherine D. Perry, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Missouri.
counsel. New World Pasta Company moves to strike certain new evidence that
McCann has submitted on appeal, and we grant the motion. Having carefully
reviewed the record that was before the district court, see Estate of Morgan v. Cook,
686 F.3d 494, 496 (8th Cir. 2012) (de novo review), we conclude that summary
judgment was properly granted for the reasons explained in the court’s thorough
memorandum and order. We also conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in denying appointment of counsel. See Phillips v. Jasper Cnty. Jail, 437
F.3d 791, 794 (8th Cir. 2006). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
