PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

-2-
Charles D. Reach, Jr. was terminated as part of a reduction-in-force from his
employment with AlliedSignal, Inc. Reach alleged he was terminated because he took
leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. The district court concluded that his
disability was not the determining factor in his termination and no causal connection
existed between the leave and the termination.
After a careful examination of the record, this Court finds there was sufficient
evidence to support summary judgment in favor of AlliedSignal. The district court,
therefore, properly granted the motion for summary judgment as no material facts were
in dispute. Under Eighth Circuit Rule 47B, no further commentary is warranted.
Accordingly, we affirm.
A true copy.

CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
