PER CURIAM.

      Iowa inmate Paul Close appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After careful de novo review, see Turner v.
Honeywell Fed. Mfg. & Techs., LLC, 

, 719-20 (8th Cir. 2003) (de novo
review standard), we conclude that summary judgment was properly granted.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.


      1
      The Honorable Ronald E. Longstaff, United States District Judge for the
Southern District of Iowa.
