Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                              _____________


PER CURIAM.


     Donald H. Brancato appeals the district court's order dismissing
Brancato's civil rights complaint against St. Louis City Circuit Judge
Thomas C. Grady on the basis of judicial immunity.         We have reviewed
Brancato's complaint and conclude the district court's decision was clearly
correct.   See Mireles v. Waco, 502 U.S. 9 (1991) (per curiam); Myers v.
Vogel, 960 F.2d 750 (8th Cir. 1992) (per curiam).    Neither briefing by the
parties nor an extended discussion on our part is warranted.        We thus
affirm the district court.      See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).


     A true copy.


              Attest:


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