PER CURIAM.

        James Claybon, Jr., appeals from the district court’s1 grant of summary judgment

Having carefully reviewed the parties’ briefs and submissions on appeal, we conclude

        The Honorable Henry Woods, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
the district court’s judgment was correct. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R.
47B. We also grant appellees’ motion to strike those portions of appellant’s appendix
that were not before the district court.

      A true copy.
