Before McMILLIAN, BOWMAN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit
      Judges.

PER CURIAM.

       Charles Armstrong appeals the district court’s1 order dismissing without
prejudice his pro se civil rights complaint against numerous defendants. After careful
review of the record, we conclude that Mr. Armstrong’s complaint was frivolous and
failed to state a claim. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), (ii); Bray v. Alexandria
Women’s Health Clinic, 506 U.S. 263, 267-68 (1993); West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42,
48 (1988); Martin v. Sargent, 780 F.2d 1334, 1337 (8th Cir. 1985). Accordingly, we
affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
