Before SHEPHERD, MURPHY, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
In this 42 U.S.C. § 1988 action brought by Missouri Department of Corrections inmate Samuel Taylor against Potosi Correctional Center staff, Taylor appeals following the district court's adverse grant of summary judgment on his First Amendment retaliation claims. Following de novo review, we agree with the district court that there is insufficient support in the record for Taylor's contention that defendants' actions were motivated by retaliation. See Lewis v. Jacks, 486 F.3d 1025, 1028-29 (8th Cir. 2007). The judgment of the district court is affirmed in all respects, including the pre-service without-prejudice dismissal of some claims, for the reasons stated by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable Rodney W. Sippel, Chief Judge, for the United States District Court for the Eastern District, of Missouri.
