Before McMILLIAN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Clyde Johnson appeals from the district court’s1 28 U.S.C. § 1915A dismissal
of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. Having carefully reviewed the record, see Cooper
v. Schriro, 

, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (de novo review), we agree
with the district court that dismissal was warranted. See City of Canton v. Harris, 

, 385 (1989); Polk County v. Dodson, 

, 325 (1981).



      1
       The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
     Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R.
47A(a).

      A true copy.

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