Robert A Wright Jr. of Wright and Wright, Des Moines, for appellant. Andrew J. Bracken of Ahlers & Cooney, P.C., Des Moines, for appellee.

petition, claiming the employee handbook given to him by the District when he was hired in 2003 constituted an implied contract. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the District. Allen appeals. After a thorough

review and consideration of the record, we conclude the district court's ruling is affirmed without opinion. See Iowa R. App. P. 6.1203(a), (d) (2009). AFFIRMED.
