Before WOLLMAN, ARNOLD, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Nebraska inmate William W. Zuck appeals following the district court’s1
adverse grant of summary judgment in his action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the
Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. We have considered the
district court's admirably thorough opinions in this case and Mr. Zuck’s arguments
for reversal. We find no error in the 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) dismissal of some
claims, see Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (de

      The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.

novo review); the denial of leave to amend, see Reuter v. Jax Ltd., Inc., 711 F.3d 918,
921 (8th Cir. 2013) (abuse of discretion standard of review); the denial of the
discovery-related motions, see Murchison v. Rogers, 779 F.3d 882, 893-94 (8th Cir.
2015) (reviewing denial of motion to compel for gross abuse of discretion); the denial
of the motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d), see Anzaldua v. Ne.
Ambulance & Fire Prot. Dist., 793 F.3d 822, 836-37 (8th Cir. 2015) (district court has
wide discretion in considering Rule 56(d) motion); or the adverse grant of summary
judgment, see Murchison, 779 F.3d at 886-87 (reviewing de novo, viewing record in
light most favorable to non-movant and drawing all reasonable inferences in non-
movant’s favor). The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
