Before MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, BYE, and RILEY, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Minnesota inmate Michael Williams appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant
of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against various prison officials
and employees and medical personnel. After carefully reviewing the record, we
conclude that summary judgment--as well as the rulings related to Williams’s motions
for appointed counsel, and his attempt to file a belated amended complaint--were
proper, and that an extended opinion is not warranted. See 8th R. 47B.

      A true copy.

            Attest:

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




      1
       The Honorable Michael J. Davis, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Raymond
L. Erickson, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
