PER CURIAM.
Arkansas inmate Michael S. Griffis appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant
of partial summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.2 The claims disposed of
in these rulings concerned Griffis’s allegations of poor housing conditions and
deficient medical care at the Carroll County Detention Center, where he spent almost
three years as a pretrial detainee. Having found no merit to the issues Griffis raises
on appeal, see Roe v. Crawford, 514 F.3d 789, 793 (8th Cir.) (standard of review),
cert. denied, 129 S. Ct. 109 (2008), we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B.
