PER CURIAM.


                                          -2-
       Cleveland Parker appeals from the District Court’s1 order dismissing with
prejudice his civil rights action following an evidentiary hearing. After carefully
reviewing the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that the District Court did
not err in dismissing Parker’s complaint. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the
District Court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

       The Honorable Elsiejane Trimble Roy, United States District Judge for the
