Dye posted bail. The district court1

 granted Hennepin County's motion for summary

judgment after concluding the length of the delay was objectively reasonable and not

unconstitutional. Dye filed a timely appeal.

We are guided and controlled in our disposition of this case by several recent

decisions involving similar challenges to the outprocessing procedures at the ADC,

some of which involved a longer period of detention than the period of detention at

issue in this case. See Lund v. Hennepin County, 427 F.3d 1123 (8th Cir. 2005);

Russell v. Hennepin County, 420 F.3d 841 (8th Cir. 2005); Golberg v. Hennepin

County, 417 F.3d 808 (8th Cir. 2005); Luckes v. County of Hennepin, 415 F.3d 936

(8th Cir. 2005); Stepnes v. Hennepin County, No. 05-2059, 2005 WL 3113440 (8th

Cir. Nov. 22, 2005) (unpublished); and Killingham v. County of Hennepin, No. 04-

3216, 2005 WL 2807117 (8th Cir. Oct. 28, 2005) (unpublished). All of the issues

raised by Dye were addressed and decided in Hennepin County's favor in one or more

of the above cases. We therefore affirm the judgment of the district court in favor of

Hennepin County in this case.
