PER CURIAM.
Lethell Davis, a correction officer with the Arkansas Department of Correction,
brings this interlocutory appeal from the district court’s1 order denying his motion for
summary judgment, on the grounds of qualified immunity, in Melvin Mayweather’s
lawsuit against him brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Having carefully reviewed the
record and the parties’ submissions, we conclude that the district court was correct.
See Walden v. Carmack, 156 F.3d 861, 868 (8th Cir. 1998) (standard of review).
Accordingly, we affirm the order of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
