Missouri inmate John A. Lamb appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of sum *556 mary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Lamb sued multiple officials and employees at the Jefferson City Correctional Center (JCCC), claiming due process and First Amendment violations based on alleged confiscation of his religious books, and on his placement in administrative segregation allegedly in retaliation for his religious beliefs.

Initially, we reject Lamb’s unsupported contention that the district court’s conclusions were improperly based on adverse credibility findings, and for the following reasons, we agree with the district court that Lamb failed to create any trialworthy issues. See Murphy v. Mo. Dep’t of Corr., 372 F.3d 979, 982 (8th Cir.) (de novo standard of review), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 125 S.Ct. 501, 160 L.Ed.2d 378 (2004).

First, evidence that Lamb himself filed with the district court showed that the books necessary for him to practice his religion (Wotanism) are the “Poetic Edda” and a book on how to use “runes” (religious symbols), and there was no admissible evidence establishing that such books had been confiscated from Lamb at JCCC. See Weir v. Nix, 114 F.3d 817, 820 (8th Cir. 1997) (person claiming that governmental action violates his right to practice his religion, must show that action at issue substantially burdens his sincerely held religious belief). Second, we agree with the district court that any due process claim based on the deprivation of Lamb’s books should be brought in state court. See DeArmon v. Burgess, 388 F.3d 609, 613 (8th Cir. 2004). Finally, the district court properly concluded that Lamb’s retaliation claim failed, because there was some evidence supporting the decisions to assign Lamb to administrative segregation. See Moore v. Plaster, 313 F.3d 442, 444 (8th Cir. 2002) (per curiam), cert. dismissed, 539 U.S. 901, 123 S.Ct. 2254, 156 L.Ed.2d 109 (2003).

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