Arkansas inmate Johnnie Ray Hawthone (Hawthone) appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for deliberate indifference to his medical needs. After de novo review of the record, see Dulany v. Carnahan, 132 F.3d 1234, 1237 (8th Cir. 1997), we conclude summary judgment was *310 proper for the reasons stated by the district court. We also note that Hawthone had no constitutional or statutory right to effective assistance of counsel in this civil case. See Taylor v. Dickel, 293 F.3d 427, 431 (8th Cir. 2002); Glick v. Henderson, 855 F.2d 536, 541 (8th Cir. 1988).

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