Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

       Bennie Davis appeals the district court's dismissal of Davis's 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted. After de novo review,
we conclude the district court's decision was correct. We thus affirm the district court
without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R.47B.
