Before GRUENDER, BENTON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Derrick Lamont Booth, a former Arkansas inmate, appeals the district court’s1
dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to state a claim. Having
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.

       After de novo review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, this
court finds no basis for reversal. See Kelly v. City of Omaha, 813 F.3d 1070, 1075
(8th Cir. 2016) (grant of motion to dismiss for failure to state claim under Rule
12(b)(6) is reviewed de novo); Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000)
(per curiam) (pre-service dismissals are reviewed de novo).

      The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable James M. Moody, Jr., United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable Beth M. Deere, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of
Arkansas.
