Before SHEPHERD, BYE, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Jesse Tiedeman appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action asserting access-to-courts and conspiracy
claims. Upon careful de novo review, see Peterson v. Kopp, 754 F.3d 594, 598 (8th
Cir. 2014) (standard of review), we conclude that the district court’s summary
judgment decision was proper, see Hartsfield v. Nichols, 511 F.3d 826, 831-32 (8th
Cir. 2008) (access-to-courts claim must be supported by showing of actual injury;
discussing actual-injury requirement); see also Burton v. St. Louis Bd. of Police
Comm’rs, 731 F.3d 784, 798 (8th Cir. 2013) (plaintiff alleging conspiracy under
§ 1983 must show that he was deprived of constitutional right or privilege). In
addition, we decline to consider claims that Tiedeman has asserted for the first time
on appeal. See Topchian v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 760 F.3d 843, 849 (8th Cir.
2014) (appellate court does not address legal or factual claims presented for first time
on appeal).

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

      1
       The Honorable Karen E. Schreier, United States District Judge for the District
of South Dakota.
