Mark Kevin Butts, a Missouri inmate, appeals the district court's adverse grants of summary judgment in Butts's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit. The district court characterized Butts's claim of substandard medical care as nothing more than an unactionable difference of opinion with the doctors' medical judgments. We agree.

After careful review of the record and the partes' briefs, we conclude the district court's judgment was correct. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
