PER CURIAM.

      In these consolidated appeals, Missouri prisoner Stanley Paul Smith appeals
from the District Court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment and denial of pretrial

      1
      The late Honorable Joseph E. Stevens, Jr., United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.
                                         -2-
motions in his civil rights action against prison officials (Appeal No. 98-2784), and
from the District Court’s2 dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) in his
related action against other defendants (Appeal No. 98-4024). We have carefully
reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs in Appeal 98-2784, and conclude that the
District Court did not err. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
We also deny Smith’s motions on appeal.

       As to Appeal No. 98-4024, we also conclude after careful review that the
District Court’s dismissal of Smith’s lawsuit should be affirmed, but we modify the
dismissal to be without prejudice. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).

      Accordingly, the judgments are affirmed.

      A true copy.

             Attest:
