Before WOLLMAN, LOKEN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Former Arkansas inmate Charles Black appeals the district court’s1 adverse
grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, in which he alleged that
defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs. Upon careful
de novo review, see Peterson v. Kopp, 
754 F.3d 594
, 598 (8th Cir. 2014) (standard
of review), we conclude that summary judgment was proper because Black failed to
show that the alleged delays had a detrimental effect on his health, see Jackson v.
Riebold, 
815 F.3d 1114
, 1119-20 (8th Cir. 2016); that defendants were deliberately
indifferent, see Fourte v. Faulkner Cty., Ark., 
746 F.3d 384
, 387 (8th Cir. 2014); or
that he was denied pain medication.

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

       The Honorable James M. Moody, Jr., United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable J. Thomas Ray, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of
Arkansas.
