PER CURIAM.
Charles Carpenter appeals after the district court1 adversely granted summary
judgment in his employment discrimination action following the preservice dismissal
of some claims. After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on
appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th
Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (reviewing de novo 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) dismissal for failure
to state claim); see also Denson v. Steak’n Shake, Inc., 910 F.3d 368, 370 (8th Cir.
2018) (reviewing grant of summary judgment de novo). Accordingly, we affirm. See
8th Cir. R. 47B.
