Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Ardell fields-Bey, Mineral Point, MO, pro se.
James R. Meadams, Attorney General's Office, Jefferson City, MO, Deborah Bell Yates, Attorney General's Office, Adrian Philipp Sulser, Martin J. Buckley, David S. Davis, Buckley Buckley, St. Louis, MO, for Appellees.
Before RILEY, COLLOTON, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
Ardell Fields-Bey, confined to the Potosi Correctional Center (PCC) in Missouri, appeals the district court's orders dismissing some defendants based on Eleventh Amendment immunity and granting summary judgment to the remaining defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his medical needs. After a de novo review, see Thomas v. FAG Bearings Corp., 50 F.3d 502, 504 (8th Cir. 1995) (standard of review for dismissal based on Eleventh Amendment immunity); Beck v. Skon, 253 F.3d 330, 332-33 (8th Cir. 2001) (summary judgment), we conclude the dismissal and the grant of summary judgment were proper for the reasons explained by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
The Honorable Charles A. Shaw, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
