                                ____________
Before COLLOTON, GRUENDER, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.
                        ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Damont Ewells appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment
in his action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. After a careful review, we conclude that the
district court did not err in granting judgment for the defendants. See Johnson v.
Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006) (de novo review). Accordingly, we
affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and we deny Ewells’s pending appellate motion.
                        ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable D.P. Marshall Jr., Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable J. Thomas Ray, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of
Arkansas.
