                        ___________

PER CURIAM.

     Oscar D. Heffner appeals from the district court’s1 dismissal of his civil
complaint. Having carefully reviewed the record de novo and having considered the


      1
       The Honorable Catherine D. Perry, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
parties’ briefs, we conclude that the district court properly dismissed Heffner’s
complaint and that an extended opinion is not warranted in this case.

      The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
