United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 09-2379 ___________ Charles Ashford, * * Appellant, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * Eastern District of Arkansas. Ray Hobbs, Chief Director, Arkansas * Department of Correction; Arkansas * [UNPUBLISHED] Department of Correction, * * Appellees. * ___________ Submitted: February 2, 2010 Filed: February 3, 2010 ___________ Before WOLLMAN, COLLOTON, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. Arkansas inmate Charles Ashford appeals the district court s1 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. ยง 1983 action against the Arkansas Department of Correction (ADC) and Ray Hobbs.2 Upon de novo review, see Saunders v. Farmers Ins. Exch., 537 F.3d 961, 1 The Honorable J. Leon Holmes, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. 2 The caption lists Hobbs as Chief Director of the ADC, apparently because that is what Ashford called Hobbs in his complaint. In its brief on appeal, the ADC 963 (8th Cir. 2008), we find no basis for reversal and accordingly affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ refers to Hobbs as the Deputy Director. The discrepancy about Hobbs s job title makes no difference to our analysis, so we need not resolve it. -2-
