1 The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable H.
David Young, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

Before HANSEN, Chief Judge, MELLOY, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.
Walter Walton appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
complaint. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude that dismissal was
proper for the reasons explained by the district court: Walton’s due process claim is
barred by Sandin v. Connor, 515 U.S. 472 (1995).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Walton’s pending
motion.
