                                ____________
Before LOKEN, MURPHY, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Arkansas inmate Tyrone Ellis appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, in which he alleged that
defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs. Upon careful
de novo review, see Peterson v. Kopp, 754 F.3d 594, 598 (8th Cir. 2014) (standard
of review), we conclude that summary judgment was proper because, as explained by
the district court, Ellis failed to show that his skin rash was “serious,” or that any
delay in treatment had a detrimental effect on his condition. See Fourte v. Faulkner
Cty., Ark., 746 F.3d 384, 387 (8th Cir. 2014); see also Jackson v. Riebold, 815 F.3d
1114, 1119-20 (8th Cir. 2016).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable Kristine G. Baker, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Beth
Deere, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
