¶1 [UNPUBLISHED]

PER CURIAM.

¶2 Arkansas inmate James Johnson filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against employees of the Arkansas Department of Correction, alleging he was denied due process, equal protection, and freedom of religion. The district court 1 dismissed the action following an evidentiary hearing.

¶3 Because Johnson did not make a jury demand, we review the district court’s factual findings for clear error and its conclusions of law de novo. See Choate v. Lock *477 hart, 7 F.3d 1370, 1373 & n. 1 (8th Cir.1993). After careful review of the record, we find no error in the district court’s well-reasoned decision, and we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

¶4 . The Honorable J. Leon Holmes, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable J. Thomas Ray, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
