PER CURIAM.

       Lannie Brown appeals from the district court&s1 grant of summary judgment to
defendants in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the record and
the parties& submissions on appeal, we conclude that summary judgment was proper



      1
        The Honorable Stephen M. Reasoner, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
and that an extended discussion would lack precedential value. Accordingly, we affirm
the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
