Before HANSEN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                               ___________

PER CURIAM.

     Gary Lilley appeals the district court's1 dismissal of his multi-
count, civil rights action arising out of the State's refusal to redeem his
Civil War Defense Bond.        Having carefully reviewed the record and the
parties' submissions on appeal, we conclude that the district court's
judgment was clearly correct and that an extended discussion is not
warranted.    Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.   See
8th Cir. R. 47B.

MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judge, dissents.

     A true copy.

      The Honorable Charles A. Shaw, United States District Judge
for the Eastern District of Missouri.
