United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted Nov. 17, 1995.
Filed Dec. 7, 1995.Before BOWMAN, BEAM, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
1Michael McCaslin filed three separate pro se civil rights lawsuits and moved the District Court1 for appointment of counsel. The court appointed counsel, but counsel subsequently moved to withdraw because he could not file amended pleadings consistent with the obligations imposed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. The court appointed substitute counsel in one of the lawsuits (No. 95-1633) and, upon the recommendation of a magistrate judge, dismissed the other two actions. Substitute counsel moved to withdraw for the same reason McCaslin's original attorney moved to withdraw. The court granted substitute counsel's motion. McCaslin failed to serve the defendants named in his remaining lawsuit with a summons and a copy of the complaint despite the fact that the District Court gave him four months to do so. The District Court then dismissed the action for failure to serve process on the defendants. McCaslin appeals the dismissal of his three lawsuits.
2The appellees have not filed briefs with this Court because they never were served by the appellant. Having reviewed McCaslin's brief and the relevant records of the District Court, we conclude that the court's dismissal of these cases was entirely correct and that an opinion by this court would lack precedential value. Accordingly, the judgments of the District Court are affirmed without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
1The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska
