PER CURIAM.

In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Arkansas inmate George Rhoades appeals the

district court’s1

 order granting defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings. The

district court concluded that Rhoades had failed to allege facts establishing a

constitutional violation. Upon careful de novo review, we find no basis for reversal. 

See Clemons v. Crawford, 585 F.3d 1119, 1124 (8th Cir. 2009) (de novo standard of

review; grant of judgment on pleadings is appropriate where, upon viewing as true all

facts pleaded by non-moving party and all reasonable inferences favoring that party,

no material issue of fact remains and moving party is entitled to judgment as matter

of law). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny the pending

motions.
