Before LOKEN, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

      Nakia Davis, an Arkansas inmate, appeals the district court's dismissal of Davis's
42 U.S.C. § 1983 action following an evidentiary hearing before a magistrate judge.
Having carefully reviewed the record and the briefs, we conclude the district court
correctly dismissed Davis's complaint. We thus affirm for the reasons stated by the
district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

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