Before BENTON, KELLY, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM. Eleazar Garcia appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment on his claim against Sheriff Jeff Davis brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Upon de novo review, see Marsh v. Phelps Cnty., 902 F.3d 745, 751 (8th Cir. 2018) (standard of review), we affirm. We agree with the district court that Davis could not be held liable under a respondeat superior theory, see id. at 753-54 (as § 1983 claims based on vicarious liability are not cognizable, plaintiff could not hold county sheriff liable for deputy’s misconduct at county jail); and Garcia’s unsupported argument on appeal that Davis was personally involved in his medical treatment because Davis’s office would have approved treatment costs is speculative, see ACT, Inc. v. Sylvan Learning Sys., Inc., 296 F.3d 657, 666 (8th Cir. 2002) (on review of grant of summary judgment, non-movant is not entitled to benefit of unreasonable inferences that amount to mere conjecture). As Garcia’s notice of appeal did not indicate that he sought review of the district court’s earlier order dismissing his claims against the federal marshals, we lack jurisdiction to consider those claims. See Berdella v. Delo, 972 F.2d 204, 207-08 (8th Cir. 1992) (notice of appeal was insufficient to confer appellate jurisdiction over district court’s earlier order dismissing claim against separate defendant on distinct grounds, as it did not include defendant in caption, specified only later order, and did not evince intent to appeal earlier order).

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska.
