PER CURIAM.

Kevin S. Ellison's appeal has been submitted on the briefs. Having considered the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the district court correctly granted summary judgment in favor of the party sued by Ellison. We thus affirm the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Ellison's pending motions. A true copy.
