Notice: Eighth Circuit Rule 28a(k) Governs Citation of Unpublished Opinions and Provides That No Party May Cite an Opinion Not Intended for Publication Unless the Cases Are Related by Identity Between the Parties or the Causes of Action.paul James Luttig, Appellant, v. Gerald Higgins; Edward Keeling, Appellees, 36 F.3d 1100 (8th Cir. 1994)

Former Missouri inmate Paul James Luttig brought this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against prison officials claiming that they violated his Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights by knowingly subjecting him to unsafe working conditions. Concluding that Luttig had shown no more than negligence on the officials' part, the district court¹  granted summary judgment in their favor. Luttig appeals. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Luttig leave to amend, see Perkins v. Spivey, 911 F.2d 22, 34 (8th Cir. 1990) (standard of review), and that the district court's opinion is clearly correct. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons the district court stated. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
