Before McMILLIAN, BOWMAN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit
      Judges.
                         ___________
PER CURIAM.

       Charles Armstrong appeals the district court’s1 order dismissing his pro se civil
rights complaint against multiple defendants. After careful review of the record, we
conclude that Mr. Armstrong’s complaint was frivolous and failed to state a claim. See
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), (ii); Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2), (e)(1); Bray v. Alexandria
Women’s Health Clinic, 506 U.S. 263, 267-68 (1993); West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42,
48 (1988). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
