Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 111 F.3d 135 (8th Cir. 1997) Submitted Jan. 17, 1997. Filed April 14, 1997

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

Before LOKEN and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges, and GUNN,1  District Judge.

PER CURIAM.


Arguing that a genuine issue of a material fact does exist, Ralph Nesbitt appeals the district court's2  grant of summary judgment against him in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After careful review of the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that summary judgment was proper. Because a thorough opinion would lack precedential value, we affirm without additional discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
