Richard C. ELINE, Appellant, v. Hoyt BRILL, Appellee.
    No. 00-2991MN.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted July 17, 2001.
    Filed July 26, 2001.
    
      Before MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, RICHARD S. ARNOLD, and FAGG, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Richard Eline, currently an inmate in Arizona, appeals the District Court’s dismissal without prejudice of the action he brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Eline, who was convicted of a crime and initially incarcerated in Hawaii, sought damages and immediate release based on his claim that he had been falsely imprisoned at a privately owned facility in Minnesota. We conclude the District Court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Eline’s complaint for failure to comply with the Court’s order to submit a properly completed in forma pauperis application and partial filing fee. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b) (court may dismiss action for failure to comply with court order); In re Reid, 197 F.3d 318, 320 (8th Cir.1999) (standard of review); Brown v. Frey, 806 F.2d 801, 803 (8th Cir.1986) (court may sua sponte dismiss action for pro se litigant’s failure to comply with any court order). We note that Eline would not be entitled to release or damages on the basis he asserted, as an inmate has no constitutional right to be housed at a particular location. See Olim v. Wakinekona, 461 U.S. 238, 245, 103 S.Ct. 1741, 75 L.Ed.2d 813 (1983) (just as inmate has no justifiable expectation that he will be incarcerated in any particular prison within state, he has no justifiable expectation that he will be incarcerated within any particular state).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable Michael J. Davis, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable John M. Mason, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
