Before WOLLMAN, BEAM, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


     Leonard J. Richards brought this action under 42 U.S.C.
§§ 1983, 1985, 1988, during his state criminal prosecution, seeking
injunctive and declaratory relief.       The district court1 granted
defendants' motions to dismiss and denied Richards's motion to
amend his complaint to add, inter alia, a request for damages.     We
have carefully reviewed the record, including the parties' briefs,
and conclude that the district court correctly dismissed the action
and did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to amend.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.    See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.      We also deny Richards's motions to supplement the
record, as they concern issues presented in his amended complaint.


     A true copy.


              Attest:


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




      1
      The Honorable Paul A. Magnuson, Chief Judge, United States
District Court for the District of Minnesota.
