Before MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, FAGG, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM

      Federal inmate Patrick Williams appeals following the district court’s1
dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to comply with a court order.
After careful review of the record, we find no abuse of discretion in dismissing the
complaint, and we agree with the district court that Williams’s previous notice of
appeal was premature. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).

      1
      The Honorable Fernando J. Gaitan, Jr., United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.
