Before BOWMAN, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Michael Duane Damron appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment
for the defendants in Damron’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Supp. III 1997) action. Damron’s
contention that the district court abused its discretion in denying both Damron’s motion
for reconsideration of the order staying discovery and his motion to compel discovery
is meritless. See Dulany v. Carnahan, 

, 1238-39 (8th Cir. 1997). Having
carefully reviewed the parties’ briefs and the record, we reject Damron’s remaining
arguments for the reasons set out in the magistrate judge’s thorough report and
recommendation as adopted by the district court. We affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
