Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids ____________

Submitted: June 15, 2021 Filed: June 18, 2021 [Unpublished] ____________ Before BENTON, WOLLMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

Jeffrey Simmermaker appeals following the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After a careful review, we conclude that the district court did not err in granting judgment for the defendants. See Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006) (grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo); Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (preservice dismissal is reviewed de novo). Accordingly, we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and we deny Simmermaker’s pending motion. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Leonard T. Strand, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa.
