PER CURIAM.

       Repoleon Gilbert appeals the district court’s1 grant of summary judgment to
defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 case. Having carefully reviewed the record and the
parties’ briefs, we conclude that defendants’ alleged failure to provide Gilbert with full-
course meals, adequate yard call and showers, and proper cell ventilation did not
constitute cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment for the
reasons stated in the district court’s opinion.

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

      A true copy.

             Attest:

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

        The HONORABLE WILLIAM R. WILSON, JR., United States District Judge
