   PER CURIAM.

Frederick Bond appeals the district court’s order granting defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings. Upon de novo review, see Westcott v. City of Omaha, 901 F.2d 1486, 1488 (8th Cir.1990) (standard of review), we conclude judgment on the pleadings in favor of defendants was proper. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable Jeanne J. Graham, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
