PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

Deborah Francis appeals from the district court’s adverse grant of summary1
judgment in her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that the grand jury selection process
in Minnesota’s Fourth Judicial District violates the Fourteenth Amendment. Upon
careful de novo review, see Schoelch v. Mitchell, 625 F.3d 1041, 1045-46 (8th Cir.
2010) (standard of review), we agree with the district court’s reasons for concluding
that Francis failed to establish a prima facie case for a Fourteenth Amendment
violation. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Judge for the1
District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
Arthur J. Boylan, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
