PER CURIAM.

Missouri inmate Dennis Williams (Williams) appeals following the district

court’s1

 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, and the

court’s subsequent denial of his motion for relief from judgment. We grant

Williams’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis, and leave the details of collecting

the remaining fee to the district court. See Henderson v. Norris, 129 F.3d 481, 484-

85 (8th Cir. 1997) (per curiam). Having carefully reviewed the record, we affirm, as

modified hereafter. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).

We note that the district court stated the dismissal would count as a “strike”

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Because the case was resolved through summary

judgment, however, the dismissal does not constitute a “strike,” and we modify the

judgment accordingly.
