Before BYE, FAGG, and RILEY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

       Van Johnson appeals the district court's* 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) dismissal
without prejudice of Johnson's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed
the record, we conclude dismissal was proper. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir.
R. 47A(a).


      *
       The Honorable E. Richard Webber, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Missouri.
