Tyrone ELLIS Plaintiff-Appellant v. Patrick DRUMMOND, APN, East Arkansas Regional Unit Defendant-Appellee
    No. 16-4565
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: July 28, 2017
    Filed: August 10, 2017
    Tyrone Ellis, Pro Se
    Brent J. Eubanks, Humphries & Odum, White Hall, AR, for Defendant-Appellee
    Before GRUENDER, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Arkansas inmate Tyrone Ellis appeals after the district court adversely granted summary judgment in his pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs.

Upon careful review, we conclude that summary judgment was appropriately granted, as the record established beyond genuine dispute that Drummond did not disregard Ellis’s medical needs. See Fourte v. Faulkner Cty., Ark., 746 F.3d 384, 387 (8th Cir. 2014) (concluding that a deliberate-indifference claim requires showing that defendants actually knew of, but deliberately disregarded, objectively serious medical need); Peterson v. Kopp, 754 F.3d 594, 598 (8th Cir. 2014) (requiring that a grant of summary judgment be reviewed de novo, viewing record in light most favorable to non-moving party). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable D. P. Marshall, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Joe J. Volpe, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
