    Diane BRYANT, Appellant, v. MERCY HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER, Appellee.
    No. 02-3719.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted May 7, 2003.
    Decided May 13, 2003.
    Before BOWMAN, WOLLMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Diane Bryant appeals the District Court’s adverse grant of summary judgment in her discrimination action against her former employer. Having carefully reviewed the record de novo, see Forrest v. Kraft Foods, Inc., 285 F.3d 688, 691 (8th Cir.2002), we find that the grant of summary judgment was proper based on the summary judgment record before the District Court, and that summary judgment would still have been proper even if the District Court had not applied the local rule that Bryant challenges. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
