PER CURIAM.

Sid Brown, Jr. (Brown), a Missouri inmate, appeals the district court’s1

 adverse

grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate

indifference to his medical needs while he was a pretrial detainee. After de novo

review, see Beck v. Skon, 253 F.3d 330, 332-33 (8th Cir. 2001) (standard of review),

we conclude that the grant of summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated by

the district court. Brown’s argument that his appointed counsel below provided

ineffective assistance is not a basis for reversal. See Glick v. Henderson, 855 F.2d

-2-

536, 541 (8th Cir. 1988) (stating the remedy for ineffective assistance of appointed

counsel in civil action is legal malpractice suit). Thus, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R.

47B. In addition, Brown’s pending motion for appointment of appellate counsel is

denied.
