PER CURIAM.

1
Kerry Woodin brought this 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 action against seventeen defendants including his former wife, two County Divisions of Family Services and their caseworkers, a hospital, medical professionals, police officers, and counselors from a notfor-profit corporation.  Woodin alleged that defendants conspired in various ways to deprive him of numerous constitutional rights in connection with a child-abuse investigation in which he was a suspect.  The district court1 granted defendants' motions to dismiss and for summary judgment.  Woodin appeals.

2
After a thorough review of the record and the parties' briefs, we reject Woodin's arguments for reversal and affirm the orders granting the motions to dismiss and for summary judgment.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
