Appeal from the United States v. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.


1
Missouri inmate Van Perry-El appeals the district court's1 grant of summary judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit seeking damages because prison officials confined him in a shower stall while he refused to be double-celled.  After de novo review of the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the district court did not err in granting summary judgment in favor of defendants.  Perry-El sued them only in their official capacities, see Murphy v. Arkansas, 127 F.3d 750, 754-55 (8th Cir. 1997), and he failed to respond to defendants' motion for summary judgment with information sufficient to establish the existence of a genuine issue of material fact defeating defendants' right to qualified immunity as a matter of law.  Accordingly, we affirm.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
