Before BOWMAN, WOLLMAN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit
      Judges.
                       ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Kendrick Lee Harris appeals from the order of the District Court1 dismissing
without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) suit for failing to comply with the
court’s show cause order and for failing to prosecute. After careful review of the
record and the parties’ submissions, we conclude that the District Court did not abuse




      1
       The Honorable Stephen N. Limbaugh, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Missouri.
its discretion. See Schooley v. Kennedy, 712 F.2d 372, 374 (8th Cir. 1983) (per
curiam). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
