Joseph Fields appeals from the adverse grant of summary judgment entered by the District Court1 in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon careful de novo review, see Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006), we conclude that summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated in the District Court’s order. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
