Before HANSEN, FAGG, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.
       David Parrish appeals the district court’s1 orders dismissing his action based on
immunity and lack of jurisdiction, and denying appointment of counsel. Upon de novo
review, see Rose v. U.S. Dep’t of Educ., 

, 928 (8th Cir. 1999); Clarinda
Home Health v. Shalala, 

, 528 (8th Cir. 1996), we conclude the district
court did not err in denying appointment of counsel, and we affirm the dismissal for the
reasons stated in the district court’s order. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

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