PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

In this diversity action, Lucretia Penn challenged the denial of coverage for
insurance claims. She now appeals following the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment on her claims for breach of contract.
After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we find
no basis for reversal. See Smith v. Toyota Motor Corp., 964 F.3d 725, 728 (8th Cir.
2020) (de novo review of grant of summary judgment; this court applies state
substantive law in diversity case). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We
also deny Penn’s pending motion to supplement her reply brief.
