Before WOLLMAN, Chief Judge, RICHARD S. ARNOLD, and BEAM, Circuit
      Judges.

PER CURIAM.

       Milos J. Jiricko, M.D., appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his complaint
based on res judicata and the court’s imposition of sanctions. After careful review of
the record, we conclude that briefing would serve no useful purpose, and we affirm for
the reasons stated by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).

        The Honorable Catherine D. Perry, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
