      Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

       John Santana, a former Minnesota inmate, appeals the District Court’s1 adverse
grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 case against Dr. Ohmann, a former
prison doctor. Santana alleged that Dr. Ohmann was deliberately indifferent to his
medical needs because he failed to treat Santana’s injuries adequately after a slip and

Boylan, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
fall. The District Court did not err in granting summary judgment to Dr. Ohmann, who
examined Santana each time Santana visited him, and administered some tests, referred
him to a cardiologist, and prescribed medication. At most, Santana has shown
disagreement with a prescribed course of treatment, which does not establish an Eighth
Amendment violation. See Long v. Nix, 86 F.3d 761, 765 (8th Cir. 1996). His First
Amendment claim also fails.

       Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Santana’s motion
for judgment.
