PER CURIAM.

      Missouri inmate David Hannah appeals the district court’s1 28 U.S.C.




      1
        The Honorable Donald J. Stohr, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
§ 1915A(b)(1) dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. Upon de novo review, see
Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam), we agree with the
district court that Hannah failed to allege sufficient facts to state a claim, see Wishon
v. Gammon, 978 F.2d 446, 450 (8th Cir. 1992) (requirements for equal protection
claim); Springdale Educ. Ass’n v. Springdale Sch. Dist., 133 F.3d 649, 651 (8th Cir.
1998) (conclusory allegations insufficient to state claim under § 1983).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

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