PER CURIAM.

Charles Bausley appeals the district court’s1

 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983

action claiming defendant jail personnel violated his Fourth and Fourteenth

Amendment rights by searching his cell and seizing some of his possessions. Having

carefully reviewed the record, we conclude that dismissal was proper for the reasons

the district court stated. See Hudson v. Palmer, 468 U.S. 517, 525-36 (1984) (Fourth

Amendment has no applicability to prison cells; no due process violation in

unauthorized deprivation of prisoner’s property if adequate state postdeprivation

remedy exists); McQuillan v. Mercedes-Benz Credit Corp., 961 S.W.2d 729, 732

(Ark. 1998) (state-law action for conversion is remedy for wrongful possession or

disposition of another’s property). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
