PER CURIAM.


      Federal inmate Jose Tineo appeals the district court’s1 preservice dismissal of
his complaint alleging medical malpractice and a violation of the Eighth Amendment.
Having conducted de novo review of the dismissal, we agree with the district court’s
decision to dismiss the case, and we reject Tineo’s arguments for reversal. See

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