PER CURIAM.
Khaim Khaimov appeals the district court's preservice dismissal without
prejudice of Khaimov's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Khaimov alleged that various persons
cheated him of his wages, conspired to have him committed to a mental institution and
falsely prosecuted for theft, and committed other wrongs against him. After de novo
review of the record, we conclude dismissal was proper because no federal statutory
right was at issue, see 28 U.S.C. § 1331; none of the named defendants was a state
actor within the meaning of § 1983, see Gentry v. City of Lee's Summit, 10 F.3d 1340,
1342 (8th Cir. 1993); and the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over any arguably
perceivable state law claims, see 28 U.S.C. § 1332.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
A true copy.
