George Rhoades v. Larry Norris
Opinion
[UNPUBLISHED]
In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Arkansas inmate George Rhoades appeals the district court’s 1 order granting defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings. The district court concluded that Rhoades had failed to allege facts establishing a constitutional violation. Upon careful de novo review, we find no basis for reversal. See Clemons v. Crawford, 585 F.3d 1119, 1124 (8th Cir. 2009) (de novo standard of review; grant of judgment on pleadings is appropriate where, upon viewing as true all facts pleaded by non-moving party and all reasonable inferences favoring that party, no material issue of fact remains and moving party is entitled to judgment as matter of law). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny the pending motions.
. The Honorable Susan Webber Wright, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Henry L. Jones, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
