PER CURIAM.
Ira J. Gibson appeals the district court’s adverse grant of summary judgment1
in her employment-discrimination action against her former employer, Millcreek of
Arkansas. After careful de novo review, see Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112
(8th Cir. 2006), this court agrees with the district court that summary judgment was
proper. The undisputed evidence shows that Gibson, a teacher, was terminated for
failing to obtain required certification; that she was not similarly situated to several
other teachers who had received extensions of time to obtain certification; and that

there were no openings for the new position that she sought. This court also agrees
with the district court that Gibson did not make a viable 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim.
The district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
