Charles Burgett appeals following the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his employment discrimination action. After careful review of

1 The Honorable David Gregory Kays, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.

the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that the grant of summary judgment was proper. See Said v. Mayo Clinic, 44 F.4th 1142, 1147 (8th Cir. 2022) (grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo). We also conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Burgett’s motion for reconsideration. See Ryan v. Ryan, 889 F.3d 499, 507-08 (8th Cir. 2018) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
