Submitted Oct. 10, 1996.Filed Oct. 21, 1996.

Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.


1
Jeffery Stevens, an Iowa inmate, appeals the district court's1 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to state a claim.  The district court correctly based the dismissal upon our recent decision in  Mahers v. Halford, 76 F.3d 951 (8th Cir.1996), and thus we affirm without further discussion.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
