PER CURIAM.
Lin Gao appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in her
action asserting, among other claims, age-based and race-based employment
discrimination, and breach of contract. Upon careful de novo review, we conclude
that the district court’s summary judgment decision was proper. See Torgerson v.
City of Rochester, 643 F.3d 1031, 1042-43 (8th Cir. 2011) (en banc) (standard of
review; nonmovant must respond to properly supported summary judgment motion
by submitting evidentiary materials that set out specific facts showing that there is
genuine issue for trial; where record taken as whole could not lead rational trier of
fact to find for nonmoving party, there is no genuine issue for trial); see also Beyer
v. Firstar Bank, N.A., 447 F.3d 1106, 1108 (8th Cir. 2006) (in opposing summary
judgment motion, nonmovant cannot rest on pleadings alone).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
