Clifford Scott Eaton appeals from the district court's1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against Lieutenant John Plante and Administrator Jan Zejdlik of the Grand Forks County Correctional Center, and the County of Grand Forks.  Upon review of the record, we conclude that judgment was properly entered in favor of defendants.  We reject Mr. Eaton's claim that the magistrate judge acted improperly, and conclude that neither the magistrate judge nor the district court committed an abuse of discretion by not granting several of Mr. Eaton's motions.  Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
