Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, BOWMAN, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.
      Japhus Dooley appeals the district court’s1 dismissal under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915A(a) of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. After a careful review of the record,
we conclude the district court did not err in dismissing the complaint. We deny
Dooley’s pending motion.

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                        CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.

       The Honorable Stephen M. Reasoner, United States District Judge for the
