PER CURIAM.
John W. Tyler (“Tyler”), an African-American, claims that the Missouri
Highways and Transportation Commission (“MHTC”) denied him promotions
because of his race and retaliated against him after he filed a discrimination complaint.
The district court 1 granted summary judgment in favor of MHTC.

-- 1 of 2 --

consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
2We also grant Tyler’s motion for leave to file a corrected brief and deny
MHTC’s motion to dismiss.
-2-
After a careful review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that the
district court correctly granted summary judgment in favor of MHTC and that an
extended opinion would add nothing of substance to the well-reasoned opinion of the
district court. Therefore, we summarily affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 2
