PER CURIAM.

      Bennie Davis appeals from the district court&s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment. After reviewing the record and the parties& briefs, we conclude that the
judgment of the district court was correct, and that an extended opinion would have no
precedential value. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
