Before WOLLMAN, COLLOTON, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                        ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Federal inmate Richard Otto Hansen appeals the district court’s1 preservice
dismissal, without prejudice, of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action under 28 U.S.C.
§§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A(b). Having carefully reviewed the record and Hansen’s

      1
      The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.
submissions on appeal, see Moore v. Sims, 

, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (per
curiam) (standard of review under § 1915(e)(2)(B)); Cooper v. Schriro, 

,
783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (standard of review under § 1915A(b)), we affirm.

       We agree with the district court that both defendants are immune from a civil
suit for damages. See Mireles v. Waco, 

, 11-12 (1991) (per curiam)
(judicial immunity); Brodnicki v. City of Omaha, 

, 1266 (8th Cir. 1996)
(prosecutorial immunity). We also agree with the district court that Hansen’s
complaint fails because Hansen seeks to vacate a state criminal conviction, and such
actions must be brought through a petition for a writ of habeas corpus rather than a
section 1983 complaint. See Preiser v. Rodriguez, 

, 500 (1973) (federal
writ of habeas corpus is sole remedy for challenges to fact or duration of
confinement).


      The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
                       ______________________________
