PER CURIAM.


       Randy Downey appeals from the District Court's1 dismissal of his
declaratory judgment action challenging the constitutionality of Federal
Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(d) and 28 U.S.C. § 515 (1994).             Having
reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the District Court
properly dismissed the action.       Accordingly, we affirm.   See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
