PER CURIAM.

Jeffrey, Imogene, and Ray White brought a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against the above-named defendants. In addition to federal civil rights violations, the Whites alleged various violations of state law. The district court1 dismissed the action against the Missouri defendants and later granted summary judgment for the remaining defendants. The Whites contest both the dismissal and the grant of summary judgment. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude that the trial court committed no error, and we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47(B).
