Before LOKEN, GRUENDER and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       After a non-jury trial, the district court1 dismissed Brian L. True’s suit for
violation of his Fourth Amendment rights. True v. Nebraska, 2011 WL 1791353
(D.Neb. May 11, 2011), remanded by 612 F.3d 676, 683 n.5 (8th Cir. 2010). The

      1
        The Honorable Joseph F. Bataillon, Chief United States District Judge for the
District of Nebraska.
district court specifically found that community custody inmates “have unsupervised
access to the [prison] parking lot,” and thus the random search of True’s vehicle was
reasonable “to keep contraband out of the institution.” True appeals.

       The judgment of the district court is based on findings of fact that are not
clearly erroneous, and no error of law appears.

      The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
