PER CURIAM.
Missouri inmate Herbert Morrison appeals the district court’s1 discovery-
related rulings and adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action. We conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
Morrison’s motions to compel. See Elnashar v. Speedway SuperAmerica, LLC, 484
F.3d 1046, 1052 (8th Cir. 2007) (reviewing denial of motion to compel for gross
abuse of discretion). Further, having carefully reviewed the record and the arguments
on appeal, we conclude the district court did not err in granting summary judgment.
See Odom v. Kaizer, 864 F.3d 920, 921 (8th Cir. 2017) (reviewing grant of summary
judgment de novo). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

Eastern District of Missouri, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by
consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
