James Allen Martin appeals the adverse grant of summary judgment by the District Court1 in this 42U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon careful de novo review, see Davis v. Hall, 375 F.3d 703, 711 (8th Cir. 2004), we conclude that summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the District Court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
