Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       George May appeals from the district court&s1 order dismissing his consolidated
actions alleging defendants violated state and federal law through pleadings filed in a
prior action. Having carefully reviewed the records and the parties& submissions, we
conclude that dismissal was warranted and that an extended discussion would lack
precedential value. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.

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