[Unpublished]
Missouri inmate Herbert Morrison appeals the district court’s 1 discovery-related rulings and adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Morrison’s motions to compel. See Elnashar v. Speedway SuperAmerica, LLC, 484 F.3d 1046, 1052 (8th Cir. 2007) (reviewing denial of motion to compel for gross abuse of discretion). Further, having carefully reviewed the record and the arguments on appeal, we conclude the district court did not err in granting summary judgment. See Odom v. Kaizer, 864 F.3d 920, 921 (8th Cir. 2017) (reviewing grant of summary judgment de novo). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
