Arkansas inmate Phillip Oakes appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for damages, asserting a claim of
deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. After careful de novo review,
see Sutherland v. Mo. Dep’t of Corr., 580 F.3d 748, 750 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of
review), we find no basis for reversal, and accordingly we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B.
