Before WOLLMAN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and MELLOY, Circuit
      Judges.
                        ___________
PER CURIAM.

        Tom Rodgers appeals from the district court’s1 dismissal without prejudice of
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint.2 We conclude that the district court did not abuse
its discretion in dismissing Mr. Rodgers’s complaint without prejudice after he failed
to comply with a court order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Edgington v. Missouri Dep’t
of Corr., 52 F.3d 777, 779-80 (8th Cir. 1995). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.

      1
       The Honorable Stephen N. Limbaugh, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Missouri.
      2
       Juan Lewis did not submit a timely notice of appeal, and therefore is not a
proper appellant.
