Act. Having carefully considered the record before us, see Laughlin v. Schriro, 430
F.3d 927, 928 (8th Cir. 2005) (de novo review of grant of summary judgment), we
agree with the district court, for the reasons that the court explained in its order, that
Guile failed to establish a prima facie case of medical malpractice under Missouri
law, see Tompkins v. Kusama, 822 S.W.2d 463, 464 (Mo. Ct. App. 1991) (elements).2
The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
______________________________
We do not address arguments that Guile newly raises in this appeal.2
