Arkansas inmate Olajuwon Smith appeals following adverse grant of summary judgment on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim against Dr. Charles Liggett. After careful de novo review of the record, we conclude the district court1 properly granted such summary judgment.2 See Morris v. Cradduck, 954 F.3d 1055, 1058 (8th Cir. 2020) (standard of review); Schaub v. VonWald, 638 F.3d 905, 914 (8th Cir. 2011) (stating Eighth Amendment claim for deprivation of medical care requires showing the inmate suffered from an objectively serious medical need and the prison official knew of need yet deliberately disregarded it); Gibson v. Weber, 433 F.3d 642, 646 (8th Cir. 2006) (requiring inmate’s production of medical evidence establishing delay had detrimental effect to avoid summary judgment on claim the delay in treatment was a constitutional deprivation). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
