PER CURIAM.
Federal prisoner Favis Clay Martin appeals the district court’s1 pre-service
dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit. Having carefully reviewed the record, we
conclude dismissal of the complaint was proper for the reasons explained by the
district court. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a). We also
deny Mr. Martin’s motion for a briefing schedule and his motion for counsel.
A true copy.
