PER CURIAM.

      Missouri inmate Robert L. Hill appeals the district court’s* preservice dismissal
without prejudice of his civil action. Having carefully reviewed the record, we
conclude dismissal was proper. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

       The Honorable Stephen N. Limbaugh, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Missouri.
