                                   ____________

Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Arkansas resident Laveida Jones filed this civil rights action against current
and former county officials, claiming they retaliated against her and violated her due
process and equal protection rights. The district court1 granted defendants’ motion
for summary judgment, and Jones appeals. Following careful de novo review, we
agree with the district court that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact,
and that defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
56(a) (summary judgment proper when there is no genuine dispute as to any material
fact and movant is entitled to judgment as matter of law); Holt v. Howard, 806 F.3d
1129, 1132 (8th Cir. 2015) (grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo, viewing
facts in light most favorable to nonmoving party and giving that party benefit of all
reasonable inferences that can be drawn from record).

      The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable James M. Moody Jr., United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.
