Leonard NOBLE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Gunner DELAY, Prosecuting Attorney, Sebastian County; Daniel Shue, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Sebastian County, Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 15-3624
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: July 7, 2016
    Filed: July 14, 2016
    Leonard Noble, Arkansas Department of Corrections, Grady, AR, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    Robert Thomas James, Attorney General’s Office, Little Rock, AR, for Defendants-Appellees.
    Before COLLOTON, GRUENDER, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Leonard Noble appeals after the district court dismissed his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint and denied his discovery-related motion. After careful review, we conclude that the dismissal was proper, see Gunter v. Farmers Ins. Co., 736 F.3d 768, 771 (8th Cir. 2013) (grant of motion to dismiss for failure to state.claim is reviewed de novo), and that Noble was appropriately denied an opportunity to conduct discovery, see Steinbuch v. Cutler, 518 F.3d 580, 591 (8th Cir. 2008) (court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to allow discovery where complaint lacked sufficient allegations to state claim). The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable P.K. Holmes, III, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Mark E. Ford, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
