PER CURIAM.

       In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, George Landreth claimed defendants failed to
prevent a violent arrestee from assaulting him while Landreth was confined at the
Calhoun County Jail, and then failed to provide prompt medical attention for his
resulting injuries. The magistrate judge, sitting by consent of the parties, conducted a
bench trial and found Landreth did not prove defendants (1) were aware of any risk of
harm to Landreth posed by the arrestee, (2) responded unreasonably after Landreth was
attacked, or (3) were deliberately indifferent to his later need for medical attention.
Landreth appeals. Because the undisputed facts support the ultimate finding of no
liability on the part of defendants, we affirm without further discussion. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.

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