Before BOWMAN, Chief Judge, WOLLMAN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD,
      Circuit Judges.
                             ___________
PER CURIAM.

       George L. Fuller, a Missouri inmate, appeals from the District Court’s1 order
dismissing some defendants, and granting summary judgment for the remaining
defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) suit. Fuller also appeals the denial of his
Federal Rule Civil Procedure 60(b) motion. After consideration of our jurisdiction of
this appeal, we conclude this appeal was timely filed, and deny appellees’ motion to
dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. After carefully reviewing the record and the parties’
submissions, we deny Fuller’s pending motions, and conclude that the District Court
did not commit error in its order dismissing and granting summary judgment for the
reasons it stated. We further conclude the District Court did not abuse its discretion
in denying Fuller’s Rule 60(b) motion. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

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




      1
        The Honorable Frederick R. Buckles, United States Magistrate Judge for the
Eastern District of Missouri, to whom case was referred for final disposition by consent
of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
