PER CURIAM.
Iowa inmate Darwin Walden appeals from the adverse grant of summary
judgment entered by the District Court1 in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After careful
de novo review, see Anderson v. Larson, 327 F.3d 762, 767 (8th Cir. 2003), we
conclude that summary judgment was proper because Walden failed to raise a material
factual issue on whether defendants substantially burdened his ability to practice
Islam, see Patel v. U.S. Bureau of Prisons, 515 F.3d 807, 813–14 (8th Cir. 2008).
1The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Northern District of Iowa.
-- 1 of 2 --
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the District Court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
