   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Smith and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Prisoner case - prisoner civil rights. Missouri death row prisoners
   challenging Missouri's execution protocol did not allege a sufficiently
   substantial risk of serious harm or a sufficiently imminent danger to state
   an Eighth Amendment claim, and the district court did not err, as a matter
   of law, in determining that the prisoners had failed to state a claim for
   violation of the Eighth Amendment; no error in denying motions to
   intervene.
