PER CURIAM.
       Missouri inmate Randy G. Spencer appeals from the district court’s1 dismissal
of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) and (2). Upon
careful de novo review of the record, see Portley-El v. Brill, 

, 1065 (8th
Cir. 2002), we conclude that Spencer’s complaint was properly dismissed because it
failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

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