                                 [Unpublished]
                                 ____________

Before LOKEN, ERICKSON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Kenneth Lewis appeals after the district court1 approved, over his objection,
a settlement and the distribution of the settlement proceeds in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action related to the death of his granddaughter. In his pro se briefs, Lewis argues
only that his attorneys in the proceedings below “denied [him] effective assistance.”
Having carefully reviewed the record and the arguments on appeal, we find no basis
for reversal. See Glick v. Henderson, 855 F.2d 536, 541 (8th Cir. 1988) (there is no
constitutional or statutory right to effective assistance of counsel in civil cases).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________




      1
       The Honorable Wilhelmina M. Wright, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
