Arkansas inmate Steven Walker brought a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action claiming officials *751 denied him access to the courts by not providing him with law books and free legal-mail materials during his pretrial detention, with the result that he was unable to prepare for trial and was convicted. The district court 1 granted defendants summary judgment, and Walker appeals.

Upon de novo review, see Owens v. Scott County Jail, 328 F.3d 1026, 1026 (8th Cir. 2003) (per curiam), we note that during his detention Walker was represented by counsel in his criminal proceedings, and we conclude summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
