PER CURIAM.

Inmate Terese Marie Meadows appeals the district court’s1

 adverse grant of

summary judgment in her action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Based on de novo review

of the record, see Peterson v. Kopp, 754 F.3d 594, 598 (8th Cir. 2014) (summary

judgment standard of review), we agree with the district court that as to the claims

Meadows is pursuing on appeal, there were no issues for a jury to decide, see Fourte

v. Faulkner County, Ark., 746 F.3d 384, 387 (8th Cir. 2014) (to establish deliberate

indifference requires showing defendants knew of, but deliberately disregarded,

objectively serious medical need; deliberate indifference requires more than even

gross negligence); Nelson v. Shuffman, 603 F.3d 439, 449 (8th Cir. 2010) (inmate’s

mere difference of opinion over matters of expert medical judgment or course of

medical treatment do not amount to constitutional violation); Popoalii v. Corr. Med.

Servs., 512 F.3d 488, 499 (8th Cir. 2008) (deliberate indifference is akin to criminal

recklessness). The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
