Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and BOWMAN, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Minnesota inmate Robert Lee Valentine appeals the district court's preservice
dismissal of Valentine's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit. Having carefully reviewed the
record, we conclude dismissal was proper for the reasons relied on by the district
court, but we modify the dismissal to be without prejudice. We thus affirm the
judgment as modified. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

            Attest:

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