Before BYE, COLLOTON, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Frederick Pitchford appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his civil-rights action against the City of Earle, Arkansas, and some of its
officials. After careful review, see Jacob-Mua v. Veneman, 289 F.3d 517, 520 (8th
Cir. 2002) (standard of review), we conclude that summary judgment was proper for
the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________
