Before MURPHY, COLLOTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.
      Dexter Lee Nash appeals the district court’s1 dismissal without prejudice of his
42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon de novo review, see Cooper v. Schriro, 

,
783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam), we agree with the district court that dismissal was
proper because Nash failed to state a section 1983 claim. Accordingly, we affirm.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                       ______________________________




      1
        The Honorable Brian S. Miller, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
Henry L. Jones, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of
Arkansas.
