No. 17-2687, No. 17-2690

Decided: August 07, 2018

Before GRUENDER, KELLY, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.

Mark Bitzan, Pro Se H. Loraine Wallace, Attorney General's Office, Des Moines, IA, for Defendants-Appellees

[Unpublished]

In these consolidated appeals, Iowa inmate Mark Bitzan, and his mother Cassandra Zent, challenge the district court’s ¹ adverse grant of summary judgment in their joint 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Viewing the record in a light most favorable to appellants, and drawing all reasonable inferences in their favor, see Sisney v. Kaemingk, 886 F.3d 692, 697 (8th Cir. 2018) (de novo review), we agree with the district court that summary judgment was warranted in this case. The judgment is affirmed, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and appellants’ motions to supplement the record are denied.
