PER CURIAM.


       Jay L. Werner appeals from the district court's1 order dismissing his
declaratory-judgment action challenging the constitutionality of Federal
Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(d) and 28 U.S.C. § 515 (1994).              Having
reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that the district
properly dismissed the action.        Accordingly, we affirm.   See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
