PER CURIAM.

Frederick W. Keiser, Jr., appeals the district court’s1

 dismissal of his complaint

against his former criminal defense attorneys and the United States Attorney for the

District of North Dakota, in which Keiser sought damages for violations of the

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968, state

law fraud, and “attorney discipline,” and requested a writ of mandamus to compel the

United States Attorney to bring a criminal prosecution. After carefully reviewing the

record and Keiser’s arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Benton

v. Merrill Lynch & Co., 524 F.3d 866, 870 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review). 

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. We also grant the motion to strike the

documents in Keiser’s addendum and appendix that were not contained in the record

below, and we deny Keiser’s request to supplement the record. See Dakota Indus.,

Inc. v. Dakota Sportswear, Inc., 988 F.2d 61, 63 (8th Cir. 1993) (appellate court

generally cannot consider evidence not contained in record below).
