Before HANSEN, Chief Judge, FAGG and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit
      Judges.

PER CURIAM.

      Benjamin Schreiber appeals the district court’s pre-service dismissal of his 42
U.S.C. § 1983 action as frivolous. Having carefully reviewed the record, we
conclude dismissal was proper for the reasons the district court stated. Accordingly,
we affirm. See 8th Circuit Rule 47B.

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