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

PER CURIAM.


     Minnesota inmate Dean Alexander appeals from the district court's1
grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action.   Having carefully 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.




      1
       The Honorable Michael James Davis, United States District
Judge for the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and
recommendations of the Honorable J. Earl Cudd, United States
Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
