PER CURIAM.
Federal inmate David Namer appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in his action brought under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Upon
1
The Honorable Jerome T. Kearney, United States Magistrate Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by
consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
de novo review, see Meuir v. Greene Cnty. Jail Emps., 487 F.3d 1115, 1118 (8th Cir.
2007), we agree that summary judgment was proper for the reasons the district court
stated. To the extent Namer challenges any of the district court’s discovery rulings,
we conclude the court did not abuse its discretion. See id. at 1120. Accordingly, we
affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
