                                   ____________

Before COLLOTON, SHEPHERD, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Arkansas prisoner Zeckeya Perry appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in his pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After careful de novo
review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude the district
court properly granted summary judgment. See Morris v. Cradduck, 954 F.3d 1055,
1058 (8th Cir. 2020) (standard of review); see also Sanders v. Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
984 F.2d 972, 975–76 (8th Cir. 1993) (stating a corporation acting under color of
state law will only be liable under § 1983 for its own unconstitutional policies, and
the proper test is whether there is a policy, custom, or action inflicting actionable
injury under by those who represent such official policy). Accordingly, we affirm.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable Brian S. Miller, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas, adopting the recommended disposition of the Honorable Edie
R. Ervin, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
