Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                              _____________

PER CURIAM.

     Lee   Dell   Robertson   appeals    the   district   court's   dismissal    of
Robertson's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim for damages.              Robertson contends
Detective Don Thornell searched Robertson's home and arrested him without
probable cause.   Robertson's contentions are meritless.      The search warrant
was issued on undisputed evidence Robertson sold crack cocaine from his
home, see George v. City of St. Louis, 26 F.3d 55, 57 (8th Cir. 1994), and
Robertson was convicted for the underlying offense after his arrest.            See
Malady v. Crunk, 902 F.2d 10, 11-12 (8th Cir. 1990).                We affirm the
district court.
A true copy.

     Attest:

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