Before WOLLMAN, MELLOY, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Tiran Casteel appeals the district court’s1 preservice dismissal of his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 action alleging numerous constitutional violations. Upon careful de novo
review, we conclude that dismissal was proper. See Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781,
783 (8th Cir. 1999) (standard of review); Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 834

      1
        The Honorable John A. Jarvey, United States District Judge for the Southern
District of Iowa.
(1994) (to prevail on Eighth Amendment claim, prisoner is required to show that
challenged condition presented substantial risk of serious harm and that prison
officials acted with deliberate indifference toward that risk); see also Shade v. City of
Farmington, 309 F.3d 1054, 1058 n.6 (8th Cir. 2002) (arguments not briefed are
considered abandoned on appeal).

      Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
