PER CURIAM.

      George Daniel Lamb appeals the district court's adverse grant of summary
judgment in Lamb's civil suit against the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District and its
counsel, James M. Byrne. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' briefs,
we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's order, and we deny Lamb's
pending motion for appointment of counsel. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
