claims and a jury returned a verdict in favor of his former employer on his remaining
claims. Shaik failed to present the district court with the arguments he now presses
on appeal and has thus failed to preserve them for our review. See Wiser v. Wayne
Farms, 411 F.3d 923, 926 (8th Cir. 2005) (noting our regular refusal to consider
arguments not presented to the district court). Seeing no reason to reach Shaik’s
unpreserved arguments, see id. at 926-27 (discussing the circumstances, not present
here, under which we might address such arguments), we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
