      Jimmy Lee Brown appeals from the district court’s1 orders granting partial
summary judgment and dismissing his suit following a bench trial in his pro se 42
U.S.C. § 1983 action.

      Having carefully reviewed the record and the district court’s findings, see

conclusions and mixed questions of law and fact is de novo); Amrine v. Brooks, 522
