PER CURIAM.
Appellate Case: 11-1814

Date Filed: 11/10/2011 Entry ID: 3848166
Matt Padavich appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment,
in which the court concluded that his son’s estate was not entitled to the benefits of
a life insurance policy under which the son had been a beneficiary, because it was
beyond genuine dispute that the policy had been cancelled prior to the insured’s death.
Upon careful consideration of the parties’ arguments on appeal, and de novo review
of the evidence that was before the district court, see Raines v. Safeco Ins. Co. of Am.,
637 F.3d 872, 875 (8th Cir. 2011) (standard of review), we conclude that no genuine
issue of material fact remained and defendants were entitled to judgment as a matter
of law. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
