PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 15-1849 Page: 1 Date Filed: 11/09/2015 Entry ID: 4334632 
Arkansas inmate Phillip Dewayne Stewart appeals the district court’s dismissal 1

of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be

granted, and on the basis of sovereign immunity. After careful de novo review, we

conclude that Stewart’s complaint was properly dismissed. See McAdams v.

McCord, 584 F.3d 1111, 1113 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard ofreview); Trevelen v. Univ.

of Minn., 73 F.3d 816, 818 (8th Cir. 1996) (sovereign immunity). Accordingly, we

affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Stewart’s motion for appointed counsel.
