PER CURIAM.
Nebraska inmate David Jacob appeals following the district court’s1 adverse
grant of summary judgment in his pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After careful
review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that the grant
of summary judgment was proper. See Morris v. Cradduck, 954 F.3d 1055, 1058 (8th
Cir. 2020) (grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo). We also conclude that
the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Jacob leave to amend the
complaint. See Pinson v. 45 Dev., LLC, 758 F.3d 948, 951 (8th Cir. 2014) (standard
of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
