United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted:  March 20, 1998.Filed:  March 26, 1998.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska.
Before FAGG, BEAM, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.

1
Cleve Wesley Stutzman sued a number of individuals who allegedly had some involvement in his arrest and detention for a driving-related offense, claiming violations of various constitutional rights, including religious freedom.  Defendants moved to dismiss;  Stutzman moved for summary judgment;  and the district court,1 concluding the complaint neither complied with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8 nor stated a claim, granted dismissal.  Having carefully reviewed the record, we find no abuse of discretion or error of law.  Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.  See 8th Cir.R. 47A(a).
