Appellate Case: 15-1382 Page: 1 Date Filed: 11/12/2015 Entry ID: 4335689 
Appeal from United States District Court 

for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Helena

____________

 Submitted: November 5, 2015

Before LOKEN, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

Arkansas inmate John Moss appeals the final judgment entered by the district

court following the court’s adverse grant of summary judgment on his federal and

1

state-law claims. Also before the court is a motion filed by some of the defendants,

seeking a partial dismissal of the appeal.

After careful review, we agree with the district court’s disposition of the

federal claims. Specifically, we conclude that the uncontroverted evidence in the

record established beyond genuine dispute that defendants did not deliberately

disregard Moss’s serious medical needs. See Allard v. Baldwin, 779 F.3d 768,

771-72 (8th Cir.) (grant of summary judgment reviewed de novo; to prevail on

deliberate-indifference claim, plaintiff must show that he suffered from objectively

serious medical need, and that prison officials knew of, but deliberately disregarded,

those needs), cert. denied, No. 15-5247, 2015 WL 4388293 (U.S. Oct. 5, 2015). We

further conclude that Moss failed to assert a proper basis for a claim under the

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Cf. Dinkins v. Corr. Med. Servs., 743 F.3d

The Honorable D.P. Marshall Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern 1

District of Arkansas.

633, 634-35 (8th Cir. 2014) (per curiam) (ADA claim cannot be based on medical

treatment decisions). However, we modify the judgment so that the dismissal of

Moss’s state-law claims is without prejudice. See Franklin v. Zain, 152 F.3d 783, 786

(8th Cir. 1998) (modifying judgment to dismiss without prejudice pendent state-law

claim where district court had properly dismissed § 1983 claims). Finally, we

conclude that the requested relief in the pending motion is not warranted. See Greer

v. St. Louis Reg’l Med. Ctr., 258 F.3d 843, 846 (8th Cir. 2001) (notice of appeal that

specifies final judgment should be understood to bring up for review all previous

rulings and orders that served as predicate for final judgment).

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment as modified, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and we

deny the pending motion.
