                                ____________
Before COLLOTON, BOWMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                        ____________

PER CURIAM.

       In this pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Arkansas inmate KeOndra Chestang
appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment on his claims that
defendants violated his constitutional rights during a pat-down search and subsequent
investigation. We first conclude that the district court adjudicated all of Chestang’s
claims and entered final judgment. See Tenkku v. Normandy Bank, 
218 F.3d 926
,
927 (8th Cir. 2000) (order is final if it ends litigation and leaves nothing for court to
do but execute judgment). Upon careful de novo review, viewing the record in the
light most favorable to Chestang and drawing all reasonable inferences in his favor,
we also conclude that defendants were entitled to summary judgment because it was
beyond genuine dispute that the conduct alleged did not give rise to a constitutional
violation. See Peterson v. Kopp, 
754 F.3d 594
, 598 (8th Cir. 2014) (standard of
review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________




      1
       The Honorable Brian S. Miller, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable Jerome T. Kearney, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District
of Arkansas.
