No. 98-1539.

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Submitted: March 20, 1998.
Filed: March 26, 1998.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska.

Before FAGG, BEAM, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

1

Cleve Wesley Stutzman sued a number of individuals who allegedly had some involvement in his arrest and detention for a driving-related offense, claiming violations of various constitutional rights, including religious freedom. Defendants moved to dismiss; Stutzman moved for summary judgment; and the district court,1 concluding the complaint neither complied with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8 nor stated a claim, granted dismissal. Having carefully reviewed the record, we find no abuse of discretion or error of law. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir.R. 47A(a).
