                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

     Chad Allen Beers appeals from the district court’s1 order dismissing his 42
U.S.C. § 1983 action against a federal judge, Mr. Beers’s two defense counsel, and two


      1
        The Honorable Robert T. Dawson, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable
Beverly Stites Jones, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of
Arkansas.
John Does. After careful review of the record, we conclude dismissal was warranted
under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) because Mr. Beers’s allegations failed to state a
conspiracy claim. See Snelling v. Westhoff, 972 F.2d 199, 200 (8th Cir. 1992) (per
curiam) (mere allegations of conspiracy without specific facts showing meeting of
minds do not state claim). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
