                                ____________
Before LOKEN, BENTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Missouri prisoner Samuel Taylor, while confined at Crossroads Correctional
Center, filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint against prison officials, dentists, and a
court official, claiming that defendants delayed necessary dental treatment, deprived
him of property, denied him a premium-pay prison job, issued false disciplinary
charges with no meaningful hearing, denied him court access, and exposed him to
unsanitary conditions, all in retaliation for his redress of grievances, and all as part
of a conspiracy. The district court1 dismissed some claims before service of process
and granted defendants’ motions for summary judgment as to the remaining claims.
Following careful de novo review of the record and Taylor’s arguments on appeal,
we affirm the district court’s challenged rulings for the reasons stated in its orders.
We also find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s ruling on Taylor’s motion
to compel. The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. Rule 47B.
                        ______________________________




      1
      The Honorable Nanette K. Laughrey, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.
