Before FAGG and WOLLMAN, Circuit Judges, and WEBBER,* District Judge.
                         _____________

PER CURIAM.




      *
       The Honorable E. Richard Webber, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Missouri, sitting by designation.
      Richard D. Carlson appeals the district court's adverse grant of summary
judgment rejecting Carlson's lawsuit brought under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named
Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). Having reviewed the
record in the context of Carlson's contentions, we see no error by the district court
and conclude that an extended discussion is unnecessary. We believe the district
court is correct and we affirm on the basis of the district court's well reasoned
memorandum opinion and order. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
