PER CURIAM.
Inmate James Lee Shields appeals following the district court’s1 adverse grant
of summary judgment in his action under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, and 1986. Upon
de novo review, see McAdams v. McCord, 584 F.3d 1111, 1113 (8th Cir. 2009) (Fed.
R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion); Mason v. Corr. Med. Servs., Inc., 559 F.3d 880, 884-85
(8th Cir. 2009) (summary judgment motion), we find no basis, and Shields has

District of Missouri.

provided none, for overturning the orders he challenges.2 The district court is
affirmed, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and we deny Shields’s motions for reconsideration of
injunctive relief and for appointment of counsel.

Shields has waived any challenge to the preservice dismissal of some
defendants and to the dismissal of others for failure to serve. See Griffith v. City of
Des Moines, 387 F.3d 733, 739 (8th Cir. 2004).
