PER CURIAM.

       Calvin J. Weber, a former civilian Army engineer, appeals from the district
court's1 order and judgment dismissing his consolidated actions for failure to state a
claim upon which relief may be granted. Having carefully reviewed the record and the
parties' submissions, we conclude that dismissal was warranted and that an extended
discussion is not necessary. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
