    No. 04-1520.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted Nov. 5, 2004.
    Decided Nov. 16, 2004.
    Chris R. Krych, Stillwater, MN, pro se.
    Jennifer A. Service, Attorney General’s Office, St. Paul, MN, for Defendants-Appellees.
    Before BYE, MELLOY, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Minnesota inmate Chris Krych, who is currently housed in the Administrative Control Unit of the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Oak Park Heights, appeals the district court’s denial of his motion for contempt, which he brought pursuant to a consent decree entered in Hines v. Anderson, 439 F.Supp. 12 (D.Minn.1977).

Having carefully reviewed the record, we cannot say the district court abused its discretion in finding that the defendants substantially complied with the Hines decree, and thus in denying Krych’s contempt motion. See Wycoff v. Hedgepeth, 34 F.3d 614, 616 (8th Cir.1994) (standard of review; substantial, good-faith compliance is defense).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a). We also deny Krych’s motion for release. 
      
      . The Honorable Michael J. Davis, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Arthur J. Boylan, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
