PER CURIAM.


     James Willis-Bey, a Missouri inmate, appeals the district court's1
grant of summary judgment to defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994)
action.   Having reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude
the judgment of the district court was correct.         Accordingly, we affirm.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
