Before McMILLIAN, MAGILL, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.


1
Gustav W. Skurdal, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court's1 dismissal of his complaint with prejudice as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915(d).  Having carefully reviewed Skurdal's complaint claiming that defendant federal officials lacked authority to incarcerate him because of his Montana state citizenship, we are convinced that the dismissal was not an abuse of discretion,  see Denton v. Hernandez, 112 S. Ct. 1728, 1734 (1992), as the complaint lacked any discernible arguable basis in law or fact.   See Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989).  Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
