Before MELLOY, FAGG, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       In these consolidated appeals, Jeffrey D. Armstrong and William Lawrence--
d/b/a Native American Press/Ojibwe News--appeal the district court’s1 adverse grant
of summary judgment in their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed
the record, see Spencer v. Knapheide Truck Equip. Co., 183 F.3d 902, 904-05 (8th
Cir. 1999) (standard of review), cert. denied, 528 U.S. 1157 (2000), we agree with the
district court’s thorough analysis; and we decline to address the new arguments and
allegations appellants raise, see Orr v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 297 F.3d 720, 725 (8th
Cir. 2002). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      1
        The Honorable Raymond L. Erickson, United States Magistrate Judge for the
District of Minnesota, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent
of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
                                         -2-
