PER CURIAM.
1
The Honorable William Jay Riley became Chief Judge of the United States
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit on April 1, 2010.
Missouri inmate Richard Butters and his wife Arlene Butters appeal the district
court’s2 dismissal of their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint alleging a conspiracy to “rob
and loot” the estate of David Butters, Richard Butters’s father. Upon careful de novo
review, see Hodak v. City of St. Peters,
535 F.3d 899, 903 (8th Cir. 2008) (de novo
review of determination as to plaintiff’s standing); Schaaf v. Residential Funding
Corp.,
517 F.3d 544, 549 (8th Cir. 2008) (de novo review of grant of motion to
dismiss); Cooper v. Schriro,
189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (de novo
review of dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A), we find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
