Head Matter:
Paul CHILDRESS, Appellant, v. Johnny RINEHART; Steven Leippert, Appellees.
No. 03-3318.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted: March 5, 2004.
Decided: March 24, 2004.
Paul Childress, Springfield, MO, pro se.
Before BYE, MCMILLIAN, and RILEY, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Paul Childress appeals the district court's pre-service dismissal of his civil rights action for lack of personal jurisdiction over defendants. Upon de novo review, we conclude Childress failed to show that the exercise of personal jurisdiction would comport with due process. See Stanton v. St. Jude Med., Inc., 340 F.3d 690, 693-94 (8th Cir.2003) (standard of review; factors to consider in due process determination); Stevens v. Redwing, 146 F.3d 538, 543 (8th Cir.1998) (plaintiff must make prima facie showing of personal jurisdiction).
Accordingly, we affirm.
. The Honorable Richard E. Dorr, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
