District of Missouri.

Before MELLOY, MAGILL, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.

___________

PER CURIAM.

Robert Love, who has been committed under Missouri’s Sexually Violent

Predator Act, appeals the district court’s1

 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) preservice

dismissal without prejudice of his complaint. Following de novo review, see Moore

v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam), we conclude the district

court properly dismissed the complaint. Among its infirmities, the complaint did not

specify which of the many named defendants was responsible for each of the alleged

harms, many of the claims were stated in the most general terms, and the attack on the

fact and duration of Love’s confinement must be brought in a habeas corpus petition

after exhausting state remedies.

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