Before MELLOY, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Joseph Fields appeals from the adverse grant of summary judgment entered by
the District Court1 in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon careful de novo review, see
Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006), we conclude that summary

      1
        The Honorable Karen E. Schreier, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the District of South Dakota.
judgment was proper for the reasons stated in the District Court’s order. Accordingly,
we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                      ______________________________
