de novo review, see Meuir v. Greene Cnty. Jail Emps., 487 F.3d 1115, 1118 (8th Cir.
2007), we agree that summary judgment was proper for the reasons the district court
stated. To the extent Namer challenges any of the district court’s discovery rulings,
we conclude the court did not abuse its discretion. See id. at 1120. Accordingly, we
affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
