Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 972 F.2d 353 (8th Cir. 1992) Submitted: August 5, 1992. Filed: August 10, 1992

Before FAGG, BEAM, and MORRIS S. ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Kirk Collins appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment to the defendants in his civil rights case. On review of the record, we find no error by the district court. We conclude Collins has failed to present sufficient evidence on which a reasonable jury could find the defendants were deliberately indifferent toward Collins's serious medical needs. In the circumstances of this case, we also conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Collins's motion to amend his complaint.

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
