PER CURIAM.


       Joseph Anthony Roberson appeals from the final order of the United States
District Court1 for the District of Minnesota, dismissing Roberson&s 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action against a state judge, prosecutor, government building, and the State of



      1
        The Honorable Ann D. Montgomery, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
Minnesota. We have carefully reviewed the entire record, and we conclude the district
court did not err in dismissing this action. In addition, Roberson is responsible for the
filing fee in the district court and on appeal. See In re Tyler, 

, 529-30 (8th
Cir. 1997) (prisoner is responsible for filing fee at moment of filing civil action or
appeal).

      Accordingly, we affirm. Roberson&s motions on appeal are denied.

      A true copy.

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