Missouri inmate Richard Butters and his wife Arlene Butters appeal the district

court’s2

 dismissal of their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint alleging a conspiracy to “rob

and loot” the estate of David Butters, Richard Butters’s father. Upon careful de novo

review, see Hodak v. City of St. Peters, 535 F.3d 899, 903 (8th Cir. 2008) (de novo

review of determination as to plaintiff’s standing); Schaaf v. Residential Funding

Corp., 517 F.3d 544, 549 (8th Cir. 2008) (de novo review of grant of motion to

dismiss); Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (de novo

review of dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A), we find no reversible error.

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