                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       North Dakota inmate Anthony Moore appeals the district court’s1 order
dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action without prejudice under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A
based on its determination that personal jurisdiction over the only named defendant–
the Director of North Dakota Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation–was
lacking. To the extent Moore has not waived any challenge to the determination as
to personal jurisdiction, see Meyers v. Starke, 420 F.3d 738, 743 (8th Cir. 2005), we

      1
       The Honorable Donovan W. Frank, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
Leo I. Brisbois, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
find that dismissal was proper, see Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir.
1999) (per curiam) (de novo review of § 1915A dismissal); see also Johnson v.
Woodcock, 444 F.3d 953, 955-56 (8th Cir. 2006) (discussing requirements for
personal jurisdiction). The district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
