Before BYE, COLLOTON, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Frederick Pitchford appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his civil-rights action against the City of Earle, Arkansas, and some of its
officials. After careful review, see Jacob-Mua v. Veneman, 

, 520 (8th
Cir. 2002) (standard of review), we conclude that summary judgment was proper for
the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
