Raymond E. OSLOOND, Sr.; Mary Ellen Osloond, Appellants, v. Richard MOWELL; Brian Wurtele; Pat Humphrey; Warren G. Johnson; Rod Oswald; John H. Fitzgerald, III; Christopher W. Madsen, Appellees.
    No. 00-2691.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted Jan. 5, 2001.
    Decided Jan. 9, 2001.
    Before BEAM, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Raymond and Mary Osloond appeal from the district court’s adverse grant of summary judgment in their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. The Osloonds claimed defendants conspired to deprive them of their property without due process and in violation of their Fourth Amendment rights, by seizing certain vehicles from a storage unit pursuant to a state court writ of execution, and later selling them at a sheriffs auction. Upon de novo review, we agree with the district court that the Os-loonds have failed to show defendants violated any federal statutory or constitutional right. See Johnson v. Outboard Marine Corp., 172 F.3d 531, 535-36 (8th Cir.1999) (standard of review; alleged facts or evidence must suggest violation of rights under Constitution or United States statutes as prerequisite to § 1983 liability). Because the seizure occurred under a valid writ of execution, and a post-deprivation remedy was available, there was no violation of the Fourth or Fourteenth Amendments. See id. at 536-37 (seizure was not unreasonable where sheriff erroneously seized third party’s boat located on property levied under valid writ of execution; post-deprivation hearing satisfied due process); S.D. Codified Laws § 15-18-31 (1984) (third party may claim ownership of levied property in trial by special jury).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The HONORABLE KAREN E. SCHREIER, United States District Judge for the District of South Dakota.
