Before HANSEN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Richard M. Elbert appeals from the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment on some of the claims, and from the judgment entered by the court2 on an
adverse jury verdict on the remaining claims, in his civil rights action against various
Kansas City government entities and officials. Having carefully reviewed the file and
the parties’ submissions on appeal, we affirm for the reasons stated in the district
court’s thorough orders. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We deny Elbert’s request for a trial
transcript to be prepared at government expense.

Western District of Missouri.
