Inmate James Irving Dale appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, in which his claims arose from allegations that, among other things, he was denied access to case law and was subjected to retaliatory discipline. Upon de novo review, see McKenney v. Harrison, 635 F.3d 354, 358 (8th Cir. 2011), and careful consideration of Dale’s arguments for reversal, 2 we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Dale’s motion to exclude appellees’ brief.
