PER CURIAM.
Tom Rodgers appeals from the district court’s1 dismissal without prejudice of
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint.2 We conclude that the district court did not abuse
its discretion in dismissing Mr. Rodgers’s complaint without prejudice after he failed
to comply with a court order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Edgington v. Missouri Dep’t
of Corr., 52 F.3d 777, 779-80 (8th Cir. 1995). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.

proper appellant.
