Before HANSEN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
___________
PER CURIAM.
-3-
Arkansas inmates Troy Roddy and Reginald R. Early appeal from the district
court’s1 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) dismissal of their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint.
Having carefully reviewed the record and appellants’ brief, we agree with the district
court that, for the reasons the court explained, the complaint failed to state a claim. See
Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (de novo review).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
A true copy.
Attest:
CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
1
The Honorable William R. Wilson, Jr., United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable Henry L. Jones, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District
of Arkansas.
