Before WOLLMAN, MURPHY, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Raymond Gearhart appeals the district court’s preservice dismissal as
duplicative of his complaint under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed.
Bureau of Narcotics, 

(1971). We grant his renewed motion for leave
to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. As to the merits of the district court’s order,
we agree that the claims arising from the forced administration of medications are
duplicative, as there was another pending Bivens suit filed by Gearhart that raised the
same claims. Therefore those claims were properly dismissed--whether under 28
U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) or 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. See Moore v. Sims, 

,
1 1 7 1 ( 8 t h C i r . 2 0 0 0 ) ( p e r c u r i a m) ( d e n o v o r e v i e w o f
§ 1915(e)(2)(B) dismissal); Cooper v. Schriro, 

, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per
curiam) (de novo review of § 1915A dismissal); Aziz v. Burrows, 

,
1158-59 (8th Cir. 1992) (affirming § 1915 dismissal on ground that courts may
dismiss duplicative complaint raising issues directly related to issues in other pending
action by same party). However, we find that the claims arising from defendant
Officer Rhodes’s alleged assault on Gearhart was improperly dismissed, see Stone v.
Harry, 

, 914 (8th Cir. 2004) (pro se complaints must be liberally
construed), because only one of the four cases the district court identified as
duplicative was still pending when the instant dismissal order was entered, and the
complaint in that pending action contained no such claim. We thus reverse the
dismissal of that claim and remand for further proceedings. In all other respects, we
affirm.
