George Poole v. Mary Catherine Moran

United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 05-3018 ___________ George Poole, * * Appellant, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * Eastern District of Missouri. Mary Catherine Moran, * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellee. * ___________ Submitted: December 7, 2005 Filed: December 20, 2005 ___________ Before MELLOY, HANSEN, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. George Poole appeals the district court’s1 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) dismissal, without prejudice, of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the record and Poole’s submissions on appeal, see Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (de novo review), we conclude the judgment of the district court was correct. Poole failed to allege any violation of his constitutional rights and, thus, failed to state a cognizable section 1983 claim. See Walker v. Reed, 104 F.3d 156, 157 (8th Cir. 1997) (to state cognizable claim under § 1983, plaintiff’s 1 The Honorable Henry E. Autrey, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. complaint must allege that conduct of defendant acting under color of state law deprived him of right, privilege, or immunity secured by Constitution or laws of United States). We reject Poole’s disqualification argument. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ -2-
