PER CURIAM.
Missouri inmate Reginald Clemons appeals following entry of final judgment
by the district court in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the1
record and considered Clemons’s arguments for reversal, we conclude that, for the
reasons expressed in the district court’s relevant orders, the court (1) properly
dismissed, for failure to state a claim, Clemons’s claim regarding telephone calls; (2)
properly granted summary judgment on his retaliation claim; and (3) did not abuse
its broad discretion in denying injunctive relief, and in refusing to compel additional
discovery. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
