amend the complaint. Having reviewed the record de novo, and in the light most favorable to Logan, we conclude that summary judgment was proper, and that the court did not abuse its discretion in denying leave to amend, for the reasons explained in the district court's thorough opinion. See Kratzer v. Rockwell Collins, Inc., 398 F.3d 1040, 1043 (8th Cir. 2005) (grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo); Deutsche Fin. Servs. Corp. v. BCS Ins. Co., 299 F.3d 692, 700 (8th Cir. 2002) (denial of leave to amend is reviewed for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________
