PER CURIAM.
Minnesota prisoner Ronnie Jackson appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant
of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After careful review of the
record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that summary judgment was
proper. See Tusing v. Des Moines Indep. Cmty. Sch. Dist., 639 F.3d 507, 514 (8th
Cir. 2011) (reviewing summary judgment decision de novo, viewing the record in the
light most favorable to the non-moving party; stating that summary judgment is
appropriate if no genuine issue of material fact exists such that the movant is entitled
to judgment as a matter of law). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
