United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 14-3049 ___________________________ Alberto Anguiano lllllllllllllllllllll Plaintiff - Appellant v. Dallas County Jail Under Sheriff; Jail Staff; Doug Lande; Sandy, Lt.; Renshaw-Roll, Sgt.; Toller, Lt. lllllllllllllllllllll Defendants - Appellees ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines ____________ Submitted: January 6, 2015 Filed: January 28, 2015 [Unpublished] ____________ Before WOLLMAN, BYE, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Inmate Alberto Anguiano appeals the district court’s1 preservice dismissal of his civil action in which he requested that criminal charges be brought against the named defendants for opening his legal mail. Following careful review of the record and Anguiano’s brief, we conclude that the court did not err in dismissing the case, because Anguiano lacked standing to seek criminal charges against defendants. See Linda R.S. v. Richard D.,410 U.S. 614
, 619 (1973); Cooper v. Schriro,189 F.3d 781
, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (de novo review). Accordingly, we affirm, and we also deny the pending motions. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Robert W. Pratt, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa. -2-
