George Sullivan appeals following the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After careful review of the record, we find no basis for reversal.

Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (reviewing de novo 28 U.S.C. § 1915A dismissal). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Sullivan’s pending motion. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Kristine G. Baker, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Jerome T. Kearney, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. -2-
