Missouri prisoner Ellery Cole appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, alleging that defendants failed to protect him from inmate attacks, and that *387 the discipline they imposed for his possession of a weapon in self-defense violated his right to procedural due process. After careful de novo review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not err in rejecting either claim.

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