Before SHEPHERD, STRAS, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.
Marvel Jones appeals the district court’s1 orders dismissing some of his claims,
and granting summary judgment for defendants on the remaining claims, in his pro
se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’
arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Graham v. Barnette, 5 F.4th
872, 881 (8th Cir. 2021) (de novo review of grant of summary judgment); Stockley
v. Joyce, 963 F.3d 809, 816 (8th Cir. 2020) (de novo review of order granting motion
to dismiss); Kaden v. Slykhuis, 651 F.3d 966, 968 (8th Cir. 2011) (per curiam) (de
novo review of dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915).
The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
