      No. 02-1846.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted May 21, 2002.
    Filed June 10, 2002.
    Before McMILLIAN, RICHARD S. ARNOLD, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Arthur Dale Taylor, an Arkansas inmate, appeals from the district court’s adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Taylor moves for preparation of a transcript at government expense and for permission to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal. We deny him the transcript; grant him leave to appeal IFP, leaving the fee-collection details to the district court in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b); and affirm the judgment of the district court.

We review the grant of summary judgment de novo, see Cooper v. Olin Corp., 246 F.3d 1083, 1087 (8th Cir.2001), and we may affirm the judgment on any ground supported by the record, see Miller v. Benson, 51 F.3d 166, 170 (8th Cir.1995). After thoroughly reviewing the record, we conclude that there were no genuine issues of material fact concerning defendants’ liability. Taylor’s claims against defendants Nurse Wendy Maglothin and Infirmary Administrator Rebekah Davis boil down to a disagreement as to the recommended treatment for his hernias and with Nurse Maglothin’s decision not to schedule him for a doctor’s appointment. See Vaughan v. Lacey, 49 F.3d 1344, 1346 (8th Cir.1995) (disagreement as to proper course of treatment is not actionable under Eighth Amendment). Further, there was no proof that the remaining defendants were involved in the medical treatment decisions. See Keeper v. King, 130 F.3d 1309, 1314 (8th Cir.1997) (prison official not involved in treatment decisions made by medical unit’s staff cannot be liable for medical staffs diagnostic decisions).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a). 
      
      . The Honorable Jerry W. Cavaneau, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
