PER CURIAM.

Michael Terrell appeals the district court’s1

 adverse grant of summary judgment

in his civil rights lawsuit. We agree with the district court that Terrell failed to

counter defendants’ evidence showing their actions did not violate his constitutional

rights, see Parks v. City of Horseshoe Bend, Ark., 480 F.3d 837, 839 (8th Cir. 2007)

(to survive summary judgment motion, nonmovant must present more than scintilla

of evidence and must advance specific facts to create genuine trialworthy issue);

Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006) (summary judgment standard

of review); and we reject as meritless Terrell’s arguments for reversal. Further, to the

extent he was attempting to bring criminal charges for kidnaping and abduction, he

cannot do so, see Linda R.S. v. Richard D., 410 U.S. 614, 619 (1973). Finally, to the

extent he challenges the district court’s denial of his Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

60(b) motion, we find no abuse of discretion. See Brooks v. Ferguson-Florissant Sch.

Dist., 113 F.3d 903, 905 (8th Cir. 1997) (standard of review). 

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