Before GRUENDER, BOWMAN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Donnie Ray Dumas appeals after the District Court1 granted summary judgment
to defendants in his action brought under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of

      1
      The Honorable Stephen R. Bough, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.
Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). Viewing the summary judgment
record in the light most favorable to Dumas and drawing all reasonable inferences in
his favor, we agree with the District Court that summary judgment was warranted.
See Clay v. Credit Bureau Enters., Inc., 754 F.3d 535, 539 (8th Cir. 2014) (standard
of review). We further conclude that the court did not err in denying Dumas’s motion
to add a habeas claim against the United States Parole Commission. See Kozlov v.
Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc., 818 F.3d 380, 394–95 (8th Cir. 2016) (standard
of review). We affirm the judgment.
