Danny Ray LEWIS, Appellant, v. Thomas Greg MASSANELLI, Appellee.
    No. 01-1786.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted Nov. 27, 2001.
    Decided Dec. 3, 2001.
    
      Before HANSEN, FAGG, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
   [UNPUBLISHED]

PER CURIAM.

Danny Ray Lewis appeals the district court’s adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. He also moves this court to take judicial notice of various proceedings before several courts or court entities.

In his complaint Lewis alleged that defendant, a Little Rock code enforcement officer, filed a false criminal report accusing Lewis of assaulting him after he • served Lewis with a municipal ordinance citation. Upon de novo review, we agree with the district court that Lewis did not show that defendant was acting under col- or of state law when he made his report to the police. See Roe v. Humke, 128 F.3d 1213, 1215-16 (8th Cir.1997). We deny Lewis’s pending motion, noting it is unclear how granting it would help him. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R.- 47B.

      . The Honorable G. Thomas Bisele, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
