PER CURIAM.

In this employment-discrimination action, Mohammed Shaik appeals the judgment entered after the district court1 directed an adverse verdict on some of his

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. ______________________________
