The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, United States District Judge for the Eastern

District of Missouri.

-2-

The Estate of Lee D. Lloyd, Willis Lloyd, and Loretta Lloyd, individually and

as next friend of Lee Lloyd’s daughter, Monica Clark, appeal the district court’s*

adverse grant of summary judgment in their 42 U.S.C § 1983 action. Having

reviewed the record de novo, see Hott v. Hennepin County, 260 F.3d 901, 904-05

(8th Cir. 2001) (standard of review), we conclude dismissal was proper, see Marchant

v. City of Little Rock, 741 F.2d 201, 203-04 (8th Cir. 1984) (assuming allegations of

failure to dispense medications properly were true, failure to provide evidence of

deliberate indifference and neglect in the medical treatment of other prisoners

amounts to failure to prove city policy or custom of failing to dispense medications

properly); see also McGautha v. Jackson County, 36 F.3d 53, 56-57 (8th Cir. 1994)

(liability for unconstitutional custom or usage cannot arise from single act), cert.

denied, 515 U.S. 1153 (1995); Wedemeier v. City of Ballwin, 931 F.2d 24, 26 (8th

Cir. 1991) (isolated incident of police misconduct by subordinate officers is

insufficient to establish municipal policy or custom). Accordingly, we affirm.
