    Before GRUENDER, ERICKSON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.
    ____________
    PER CURIAM.
    South Dakota resident Michael Forman appeals following the district court’s1
    adverse grant of summary judgment in his 
    42 U.S.C. § 1983
     action. After careful
    1
    The Honorable Karen E. Schreier, United States District Judge for the District
    of South Dakota.
    review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude the district
    court did not abuse its discretion in staying discovery, see Steinbuch v. Cutler, 
    518 F.3d 580
    , 589 (8th Cir. 2008) (reviewing for abuse of discretion denial of discovery);
    or in deeming defendants’ statement of facts admitted, see Jones v. United Parcel
    Serv., Inc., 
    461 F.3d 982
    , 989-91 (8th Cir. 2006) (reviewing for abuse of discretion
    decision deeming movants’ statement of facts admitted). We further conclude the
    district court did not err in adversely granting summary judgment as to Forman’s
    claims. See Nieters v. Holtan, 
    83 F.4th 1099
    , 1105 (8th Cir. 2023) (reviewing de
    novo grant of summary judgment based on qualified immunity). Accordingly, we
    affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
