    Joel A. Poole, Assistant Attorney General, Attorney General’s Office, Jefferson City, MO, Dana Walker Tucker, Assistant Attorney General, Attorney General’s Office, Saint Louis, MO, for Defendants-Ap-pellees.
    Before MURPHY, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Missouri inmate Reginald Clemons appeals following entry of final judgment by the' district court in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the record and considered Clemons’s arguments for reversal, we conclude that, for the reasons expressed in the district court’s relevant orders, the court (1) properly dismissed, for failure to state a claim, Clemons’s claim regarding telephone calls; (2) properly granted summary judgment on his retaliation claim; and (3) did not abuse its broad discretion in denying in-junctive relief, and in refusing to compel additional discovery. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable Catherine D. Perry, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
