Iowa inmate David Hering appeals from the district court’s 1 adverse judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After de novo review, see Ramlet v. E.F. Johnson Co., 507 F.3d 1149, 1152 (8th Cir. 2007); Allen v. Purkett, 5 F.3d 1151, 1153 (8th Cir. 1993) (per curiam), we conclude the district court did not err in granting judgment in favor of appellees. We also conclude the court did not abuse its discretion in denying Hering leave to amend his complaint. See Roberson v. Hayti Police Dep’t, 241 F.3d 992, 995 (8th Cir. 2001). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
