Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

      Thomas Hughes appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor
of Karen Cornell and others involved in Hughes's medical care at the Jefferson City
Correctional Center. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties'
submissions, we are convinced the judgment of the district court was correct.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

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