Before COLLOTON, BOWMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                        ____________

PER CURIAM.
      Iowa inmate Michael Jefferson appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon de novo review, we
conclude the district court properly granted summary judgment because Jefferson
submitted no evidence to substantiate his allegations, and the record showed there
was no genuine dispute as to any material fact. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a); see also
Cross v. Prairie Meadows Racetrack & Casino, Inc., 615 F.3d 977, 980-81 (8th Cir.
2010).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable John A. Jarvey, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Southern District of Iowa.
