Spencer Pierce appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon careful de novo review, see Hartsfield v. Nichols, 511 F.3d 826, 829 (8th Cir. 2008), we find no basis for reversal. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________
