                               [Unpublished]
                               ____________
Before BENTON, WOLLMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Jeffrey Simmermaker appeals following the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After a careful review, we
conclude that the district court did not err in granting judgment for the defendants.
See Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006) (grant of summary
judgment is reviewed de novo); Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000)
(per curiam) (preservice dismissal is reviewed de novo). Accordingly, we affirm, see
8th Cir. R. 47B, and we deny Simmermaker’s pending motion.
                        ______________________________

      1
        The Honorable Leonard T. Strand, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Northern District of Iowa.
