Before WOLLMAN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and MELLOY, Circuit
      Judges.
                        ___________

PER CURIAM.
       Gerry DuBose appeals the district court’s1 dismissal without prejudice of his
civil complaint. After careful de novo review, we agree with the district court’s
conclusion that DuBose’s complaint did not state a cause of action actionable in
federal court. Further, we find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s denial of
DuBose’s motion for leave to amend his complaint, or in the denial of his
postjudgment motion seeking reconsideration of the court’s judgment.

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.




      1
      The Honorable Richard H. Kyle, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Jonathan
G. Lebedoff, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
