PER CURIAM.

Jessie Johnson appeals the district court’s1

 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)

preservice dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the

record and Johnson’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. Johnson failed to allege any violation of his constitutional

rights by a state actor and, thus, failed to state a cognizable section 1983 claim. See

Kuha v. City of Minnetonka, 365 F.3d 590, 606 (8th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, we

affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
