Iowa inmate Ronald Curry appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil action alleging a violation of his Eighth Amendment rights. Upon careful de novo review, see Holden v. Hirner, 663 F.3d 336, 340 (8th Cir. 2011) (standard of review), we conclude that summary judgment was properly granted for the reasons stated by the district court. We also conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying reconsideration. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
