PER CURIAM.

       Berry Allen Willis appeals the district court’s1 judgment, in part dismissing for
failure to state a claim and in part granting summary judgment against him, in his
action under federal civil rights provisions and state law. Having conducted de novo
review of the record, see S.J. v. Kansas City Mo. Pub. Sch. Dist., 294 F.3d 1025, 1027
(8th Cir. 2002) (summary judgment); Atkinson v. Bohn, 91 F.3d 1127, 1128 (8th Cir.
1996) (per curiam) (dismissal for failure to state claim), we find the district court’s
analysis to be thorough and well reasoned, and we reject Willis’s baseless arguments
for reversal. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Willis’s
pending motion.
                        ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable Richard H. Kyle, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota.
