Before SHEPHERD, GRASZ, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM. In this pro se civil rights action, Tomas Popson appeals the district court’s1 orders dismissing several defendants and granting summary judgment to the remaining defendants. Popson also challenges the district court’s imposition of a restriction on his filings. After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Morris v. Cradduck, 954 F.3d 1055, 1058 (8th Cir. 2020) (summary judgment standard of review); Waters v. Madson, 921 F.3d 725, 734 (8th Cir. 2019) (Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) dismissal standard of review); Bass v. Gen. Motors Corp., 150 F.3d 842, 851 (8th Cir. 1998) (inherent disciplinary power standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
