PER CURIAM.

David Lynch (Lynch) appeals the district court’s1

 adverse grant of summary

judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action involving a high-speed chase. Upon de novo

review, see Lawyer v. City of Council Bluffs, 361 F.3d 1099, 1103 (8th Cir. 2004),

Appellate Case: 04-1680 Page: 1 Date Filed: 10/21/2004 Entry ID: 1824681 
-2-

we conclude the officer-defendants’ conduct was objectively reasonable under the

circumstances, and thus the defendants did not violate Lynch’s Fourth Amendment

right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, see Cole v. Bone, 993 F.2d

1328, 1332-34 (8th Cir. 1993).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
