Before BYE, COLLOTON, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Arkansas inmate Richard Alan Davis appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action following an evidentiary hearing. Because Davis
requested a jury trial and he alone testified at the hearing, the district court properly
applied the standards announced in Johnson v. Bi-State Justice Ctr., 12 F.3d 133 (8th
Cir. 1993); and upon de novo review, see Johnson v. Cowell Steel Structures, Inc.,
991 F.2d 474, 478 (8th Cir. 1993), we find no error in the court’s conclusion that the
case was not submissible to a jury. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                         ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable H. David Young, United States Magistrate Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by
consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
