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

PER CURIAM.

       Arkansas inmate Charles Wilson brought an action claiming that conditions at the
Cummins Unit of the Arkansas Department of Correction did not comply with relevant safety
standards. The district court2 denied preliminary injunctive relief, and this interlocutory
appeal followed. After careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court did
not abuse its discretion, for the reasons discussed by the court in its opinion. See Dataphase
Sys., Inc. v. C L Sys., Inc., 640 F.2d 109, 113 (8th Cir. 1981). Accordingly, we affirm.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                         ______________________________

       2
       The Honorable Susan Webber Wright, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable H. David Young, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District
of Arkansas.
