Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.
       Beck appeals from the district court’s1 denial of his motion for contempt in this
case involving a prison’s inmate mail regulations. We grant Beck’s motion to
proceed in forma pauperis, assess the $105 appellate filing fee against Beck, and
direct the district court to calculate his initial partial appellate filing fee and to order
collection of that fee and the remaining installments from him in accordance with 28
U.S.C. § 1915 and the procedures outlined in Henderson v. Norris, 129 F.3d 481,
484-85 (8th Cir. 1997) (per curiam). We also deny his motion for appointment of
counsel. Finally, after careful review of the record and Beck’s brief, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

       A true copy.

              Attest:

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