PER CURIAM.
Federal inmate Byron Dawes appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in his Bivens2 action. We agree with the district court that there
is nothing in the record to support Dawes’s opinion that the medical care he has
received is so inadequate as to amount to a constitutional violation. See Jolly v.
Knudsen,
205 F.3d 1094, 1096 (8th Cir. 2000) (mere disagreement with course of
medical treatment is insufficient to state Eighth Amendment claim); Dulany v.
Carnahan,
132 F.3d 1234, 1240 (8th Cir. 1997) (where medical records indicate
treatment was provided and physician affidavits indicate care was adequate, inmate
cannot create fact question merely by stating he did not believe treatment was
adequate).
Accordingly, we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, but we modify the district court’s
order to clarify that the dismissal does not count as a strike under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
