PER CURIAM.

Sammy L. Casey-El appeals following the district court’s1 grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant Petrofsky’s Bakery (Petrofsky’s) in his employment discrimination action. After de novo review of the record, see Barge v. Anheuser- Busch, Inc., 87 F.3d 256, 258 (8th Cir. 1996), we conclude the district court did not err in granting summary judgment to Petrofsky’s. We agree with the district court that Casey-El failed to create a triable issue on whether Petrofsky’s proffered non-

See Shannon v. Ford Motor Co., 72 F.3d 678, 682 (8th Cir. 1996). We decline to consider Casey-El’s due process, equal protection, or attorney-disciplinary claims: they were either not raised, or were not explained and developed, in the district court. See Brock v. Logan County Sheriff’s Dep’t of Ark., 3 F.3d 1215, 1216 (8th Cir. 1993) (per curiam). Finally, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Casey-El’s motion for reconsideration. See Twin City Constr. Co. v. Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, 911 F.2d 137, 139 (8th Cir. 1990) (standard of review).

Accordingly, we affirm.
