Appellate Case: 15-2165 Page: 1 Date Filed: 02/02/2016 Entry ID: 4362451 
PER CURIAM.

Arkansas inmate James McAlphin appeals the district court’s adverse grant of 1

summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We find no basis for reversal. 

Specifically, we agree with the district court that McAlphin failed to state a claim

against numerous defendants, see Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir.

2000) (per curiam) (de novo review of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) dismissal); Cooper

v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (de novo review of

dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A); that the claims against Dr. Don Ball should be

dismissed for lack of administrative exhaustion, see King v. Iowa Dep’t of Corr., 598

F.3d 1051, 1052 (8th Cir. 2010) (de novo review); and that summary judgment was

warranted on the claims against Dr. Nwannem Obi-Okoye and APN Geraldine

Campbell, see Peterson v. Kopp, 754 F.3d 594, 598 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review). 

The judgment of the district court is affirmed, and McAlphin’s appellate motions for

counsel are denied.
