Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock [Unpublished] Before GRUENDER, BOWMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.

Federal inmate The-Nimrod Sterling appeals the district court's adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action arising from his incarceration at a county jail. Viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to Sterling, and giving him the benefit of all reasonable inferences, we agree with the district court that summary judgment was warranted. See Murchison v. Rogers, 779 F.3d 882, 886-87 (8th Cir. 2015) (de novo review). We find no merit to Sterling's challenges to the other adverse orders he identifies. The judgment of the district court is affirmed, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, but we clarify the dismissal is without prejudice as to the state-law claims Sterling raised in the amended complaint at issue here.

The Honorable J. Leon Holmes, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Jerome T. Kearney, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. --------
