Cleve Wesley Stutzman sued a number of individuals who allegedly had some involvement in his arrest and detention for a driving-related offense, claiming violations of various constitutional rights, including religious freedom. Defendants moved to dismiss; Stutzman moved for summary judgment; and the district court,1 concluding the complaint neither complied with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8 nor stated a claim, granted dismissal. Having carefully reviewed the record, we find no abuse of discretion or error of law. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a). A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. 1 The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable David L. Piester, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Nebraska. -2-
