Before WOLLMAN, Chief Judge, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and BYE,
      Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.
       Ronald D. Chandler appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 action for failure to state a claim. After de novo review of the record, see
Springdale Educ. Ass&n v. Springdale Sch. Dist., 133 F.3d 649, 651 (8th Cir. 1998), we
conclude that dismissal was proper for the reasons stated by the district court. See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.

      The judgment is affirmed.
