PER CURIAM.
      Ricky Olson appeals the district court's1 adverse grant of summary judgment in
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After de novo review of the record, see Earnest v.
Courtney, 64 F.3d 365, 366-67 (8th Cir. 1995) (per curiam), we conclude that the
district court's judgment was correct. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
