Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


     Gary Duaine Davis appeals from the district court's1 order granting
summary judgment to defendant in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.            Having
carefully reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the
judgment was correct.      Accordingly, we affirm.      See 8th Cir. R. 47B.   We
deny Davis's post-appeal motions.




      1
       The Honorable Bobby E. Shepherd, United States Magistrate
Judge for the Western District of Arkansas, to whom the case was
referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
A true copy.
