Raymond Gearhart appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his action under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau
of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). As to the claims he raised in his amended
complaint concerning the forced administration of medications,2 we find no basis for
reversing the district court’s grant of summary judgment, and Gearhart has identified
none. See Green v. Dormire, 691 F.3d 917, 921 (8th Cir. 2012) (de novo review).
The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
______________________________
1The Honorable Greg Kays, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the
Western District of Missouri, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable David P. Rush, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of
Missouri.
2Gearhart has abandoned his other claims. See Roers v. Countrywide Home
Loans, Inc., 728 F.3d 832, 838 (8th Cir. 2013).
