Lisa Murphy v. Sheriff Chad Ledbetter

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Arkansas inmate Lisa Murphy appeals following the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon de novo review, we agree with the district court that Murphy failed to exhaust her administrative remedies on some claims. See King v. Iowa Dep’t of Corr., 598 F.3d 1051, 1052 (8th Cir. 2010) (standard of review; administrative exhaustion). We also find that summary judgment was proper as to the remaining claims, because, based on our de novo review of the evidence developed below, see Murchison v. Rogers, 779 F.3d 882, 886-87 (8th Cir. 2015) (summary judgment standard of review), we cannot conclude that any defendant violated Murphy’s constitutional rights. The judgment of the district court is affirmed, and Murphy’s motion for appointment of counsel is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
