PER CURIAM.

      George Lamb appeals the District Court’s1 pre-service dismissal of his diversity
action against Caremark and two of its employees, in which he alleged that
defendants refused to provide him with a brand-name medication and insisted he take
the generic equivalent instead, manufacturing a letter in which they claimed to have
obtained the approval of Lamb’s doctor. After careful review, we conclude that the
Court properly dismissed his complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).

      1
        The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
