PER CURIAM.

       David A. Waff, a South Dakota inmate, appeals the district court&s1 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915A dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Waff filed this action challenging
prison regulations set forth in the South Dakota Department of Corrections “Inmate
Living Guide.” The district court dismissed Waff&s claim without prejudice as
frivolous. After a careful review of the record and the appellant&s submissions on
appeal, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
