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

PER CURIAM.


     Corey Hines appeals the district court's1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.         After carefully reviewing the
record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the district court's judgment
was correct for the reasons set forth in its opinion.         Accordingly, we
affirm.   See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
