court granted the trustee’s motion for summary judgment on claims seeking to avoid1
certain fraudulent and preferential transfers, and the district court adopted the2

motion. After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, see
Contemporary Indus. Corp. v. Frost, 564 F.3d 981, 984 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of

affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
