PER CURIAM.

      Missouri inmate David Hannah appeals the district court’s1 28 U.S.C.




      1
        The Honorable Donald J. Stohr, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
§ 1915A(b)(1) dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. Upon de novo review, see
Cooper v. Schriro, 

, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam), we agree with the
district court that Hannah failed to allege sufficient facts to state a claim, see Wishon
v. Gammon, 

, 450 (8th Cir. 1992) (requirements for equal protection
claim); Springdale Educ. Ass’n v. Springdale Sch. Dist., 

, 651 (8th Cir.
1998) (conclusory allegations insufficient to state claim under § 1983).

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

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
