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

       David L. Parrish appeals from the district court&s1 dismissal of his complaint
without prejudice for failure to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8. Having
carefully reviewed the record and Mr. Parrish&s submissions on appeal, we conclude
the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Mr. Parrish&s complaint. See
Atkins v. Northwest Airlines, Inc., 967 F.2d 1197, 1203 (8th Cir. 1992) (standard of
review). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. 8th Cir. R. 47B.



      We also deny all of Mr. Parrish&s pending motions.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

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

       The Honorable William G. Cambridge, Chief Judge, United States District
Court for the District of Nebraska.
