Before LOKEN, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.

____________

PER CURIAM.

Arkansas inmate Randall McArty appeals the district court’s adverse grant of 1

summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action in which he claimed that

defendants failed to protect him from an attack by another inmate. Upon careful de

novo review, see Paine v. Jefferson Nat. Life Ins. Co., 594 F.3d 989, 991-92 (2010),

we conclude, for the reasons explained by the district court, that defendants were not

deliberately indifferent to a serious risk to McArty’s safety, see Tucker v. Evans, 276

F.3d 999, 1001 (8th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is

affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.2

______________________________

The Honorable J. Leon Holmes, United States District Judge for the Eastern 1

District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable

Jerome T. Kearney, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of

Arkansas.

We do not consider the dismissal of certain claims and defendants for failure 2

to state a claim and failure to exhaust administrative remedies because McArty did

not raise these issuesin his brief. See Jasperson v. Purolator Courier Corp., 765 F.2d

736, 740-41 (8th Cir. 1985).
