Pincite

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Troy Gram appeals from the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. The district court determined that Gram’s action, based on events surrounding his February 1997 arrest, was barred by a release of liability which Gram had signed in exchange for the reduction of criminal charges against him. Upon de novo review, see Larson v. City of Fergus Falls, 229 F.3d 692, 696 (8th Cir.2000), we agree with the district court that the release was enforceable because Gram voluntarily agreed to it, there was no prosecutorial overreaching, and public interests were not adversely affected, see Woods v. Rhodes, 994 F.2d 494, 499 (8th Cir.1993).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
