Before WOLLMAN, Chief Judge, FAGG, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                             ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Jo Karen McGuire appeals the dismissal of a civil suit she filed on behalf of her
daughter, Kandice Ball, naming various public officials as defendants. Having carefully
reviewed the record, we conclude that the district court1 properly dismissed Ball’s suit.



      1
       The Honorable James Maxwell Moody, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.
                                           -2-
      The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We deny Ball’s motion for
appointment of counsel.
