See Torgerson v. City of Rochester, 643 F.3d 1031, 1042 (8th Cir. 2011) (en banc) (de novo standard of review; summary judgment is appropriate if record, viewing facts and inferences in light most favorable to nonmoving party, shows there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and moving party is entitled to judgment as matter of law). The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa. -2-
