PER CURIAM.

      Taofeek A. Quadri brought an employment-discrimination action against the
Secretary of the Army. The district court concluded that Quadri’s claims were

      1
       Mark T. Esper has been appointed to serve as Secretary of the Army, and is
substituted as appellee pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 43(c).
nonjusticiable under Feres v. United States, 
340 U.S. 135
, 146 (1950), and dismissed
the action with prejudice. On appeal, Quadri contends only that the dismissal should
have been without prejudice. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court
agrees. See Hupp v. U.S. Dep’t of Army, 
144 F.3d 1144
, 1148 (8th Cir. 1998); Wood
v. United States, 
968 F.2d 738
, 740 (8th Cir. 1992).

      The judgment is modified to be a dismissal without prejudice, and is otherwise
undisturbed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. The pending motion for a stay is denied.
