PER CURIAM.

      South Dakota inmate Jerry A. Nissen appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant
of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the
record, see Jolly v. Knudsen, 

, 1096 (8th Cir. 2000) (standard of
review), we agree with the district court’s thorough assessment of the merits of
Nissen’s lawsuit.

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

       The Honorable John E. Simko, United States Magistrate Judge for the District
