PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

1The Honorable Paul A. Magnuson, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Jonathan
Lebedoff, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
-2-
Minnesota inmate Robert Hampson appeals following the district court’s1
granting of appellees’ motions for summary judgment in Hampson’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action. Hampson had alleged that the prison’s health unit failed to timely refill his
prescriptions for blood pressure medication, and that the named appellees were not
sufficiently responsive to his complaints. Upon de novo review of the record, we
conclude that the district court did not err as the summary judgment record establishes
that no appellee was deliberately indifferent to Hampson’s need for timely refills of his
medication. See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 104-06 (1976). We also reject his
arguments that the district court abused its discretion in granting summary judgment
when it did, and in refusing to appoint counsel for him.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
