PER CURIAM.
Suleiman Ibrahim appeals from the district court’s 1 order enforcing a settlement
agreement between Ibrahim and Metropolitan Transit Authority, arguing that his
attorney did not possess authority to enter into the settlement. Upon our careful
review of the record, we hold that the district court did not clearly err in concluding
that Ibrahim had granted his attorney authority to settle the case and that the

settlement agreement therefore bound Ibrahim. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order enforcing the agreement. See 8th Cir. 47B.
