Dora Schriro, * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellee. * ___________ Submitted: July 21, 1997 Filed: July 24, 1997 ___________ Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Earnest Lee Langston, a Missouri inmate, appeals from the district court's1 grant of summary judgment to defendant in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' submissions, we conclude that the district court was clearly correct and that an extended discussion is therefore unnecessary.

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

The Honorable Catherine D. Perry, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. -2- A true copy.
