Before MURPHY, BYE, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       G.W. Delaney and Phyllis Delaney (the Delaneys) appeal following the district
court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment to the last remaining defendants in their
civil-rights lawsuit. We reject as meritless the Delaneys’ various challenges to the
district court’s well-reasoned determination that there were no trialworthy issues on
the constitutional, conspiracy, and state-law claims against Detective Paul Norris, see
Smith v. Insley’s Inc., 499 F.3d 875, 879 (8th Cir. 2007) (summary judgment standard
of review); and the Delaneys have waived all other claims by not addressing them in
their opening brief, see K.D. v. County of Crow Wing, 434 F.3d 1051, 1055 n.4 (8th
Cir. 2006). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                         ______________________________

      1
        The Honorable Robert T. Dawson, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
