Reed has waived any challenge that he may have to the dismissals of

defendants Muhammed Salam, the Springfield Police Department, Steve Stepp, John

Does, Jane Does, and Gail Ann Campbell. See Pritchett v. Cottrell, Inc., 512 F.3d

129 S. Ct. 222 (2008); Anderson v. Larson, 327 F.3d 762, 767 (8th Cir. 2003), we

affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B. We dismiss all pending motions as moot.
