Paul Stepnes appeals from the district court’s 1 summary judgment order dismissing his civil rights and malicious prosecution claims against his neighbors Robert and Christine Tennessen, the City of Minneapolis and four Minneapolis police officers.

The facts of this case are lengthy and convoluted, stemming as they do from a backyard dispute between neighbors that escalated into threats, protection orders, arrests, physical confrontations, dog-kicking, and the like. The district court’s memorandum opinion treats the facts and the legal claims arising therefrom accurately and comprehensively. Finding no error in the district court’s ruling, and concluding that a further discussion would be of no precedential value, we affirm on the basis of the reasons set forth in the district court’s opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
