Before GRUENDER, BOWMAN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________

PER CURIAM.
     Deverick Scott appeals after the district court1 adversely granted summary
judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.

       After careful de novo review, see LaCross v. City of Duluth, 713 F.3d 1155,
1157 (8th Cir. 2013) (reviewing the district court’s grant of summary judgment based
on qualified immunity de novo), we conclude that the district court properly granted
summary judgment in favor of the defendants for the reasons stated by the district
court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________

      1
        The Honorable D.P. Marshall Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
Patricia S. Harris, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
