Before BYE, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Inmate Johnny Tarkington appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. As to the claims Tarkington has
not abandoned on appeal, see Carraher v. Target Corp., 503 F.3d 714, 716 n.2 (8th
Cir. 2007), we find that summary judgment was properly granted for the reasons
stated by the district court, see Popoalii v. Corr. Med. Servs., 512 F.3d 488, 499 (8th
Cir. 2008) (de novo standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
                         ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable J. Leon Holmes, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable Henry L. Jones, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District
of Arkansas, now retired.
