                                 ____________

Before COLLOTON,1 KELLY, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

      1
       Judge Colloton became chief judge of the circuit on March 11, 2024. See 28
U.S.C. § 45(a)(1).

                                         -2-
       Reginald Dunahue appeals the district court’s2 orders dismissing some of his
claims and granting summary judgment for the defendants on the remaining claims,
in his pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the record and the
parties’ arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Townsend v. Murphy,
898 F.3d 780, 783 (8th Cir. 2018) (reviewing de novo grant of summary judgment);
Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (reviewing de novo 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2)(B) dismissal); Ash v. Anderson Merchandisers, LLC, 799 F.3d 957, 960
(8th Cir. 2015) (reviewing de novo dismissal for failure to state a claim).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. The
request for oral argument is denied as moot.
                        ______________________________

      2
        The Honorable D.P. Marshall Jr., then Chief Judge, now United States District
Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, in part adopting the findings and
recommendations of the Honorable Patricia S. Harris, United States Magistrate Judge
for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
