Before WOLLMAN, MAGILL, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.


     Frank W. Askew appeals the district court's1 partial grant of
summary judgment to defendant prison officials, and award of
nominal damages to him after a bench trial in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action.   Having carefully reviewed the parties' briefs and the
record, we conclude the judgment of the district court was correct.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
