Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas
Before LOKEN, GRASZ, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Arkansas inmate Harold Covert appeals the district court's 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 the grant of summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the district court. See Morris v. Cradduck, 954 F.3d 1055, 1058 (8th Cir. 2020) (reviewing de novo grant of summary judgment). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
The Honorable Billy Roy Wilson, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the recommendation of the Honorable Edie R. Ervin, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
