Before BEAM, LOKEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
                               ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Frankie Levi Cole appeals the district court's1 grant of summary
judgment to certain defendants, and the district court's2 judgment in favor
of the remaining defendants, following a bench trial, in Cole's 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 action.       Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties'
briefs, we affirm for the reasons stated in the district courts' orders.
We decline to address Cole's arguments raised for the first time on appeal.
See   United    States    v.    Dixon,    51   F.3d    1376,   1383   (8th   Cir.   1995).
Accordingly, we affirm.         See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
