PER CURIAM.
Paul Childress appeals the district court’s1 pre-service dismissal of his civil
rights action for lack of personal jurisdiction over defendants. Upon de novo review,
we conclude Childress failed to show that the exercise of personal jurisdiction would
comport with due process. See Stanton v. St. Jude Med., Inc., 340 F.3d 690, 693-94
(8th Cir. 2003) (standard of review; factors to consider in due process determination);
1
The Honorable Richard E. Dorr, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
Stevens v. Redwing, 146 F.3d 538, 543 (8th Cir. 1998) (plaintiff must make prima
facie showing of personal jurisdiction).
Accordingly, we affirm.
