PER CURIAM.

      Samar Akins appeals the district court’s1 preservice dismissal, without
prejudice, of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint seeking damages and equitable relief for

      1
       The Honorable Joseph F. Bataillon, United States District Judge for the
District of Nebraska.
all African American individuals in Nebraska, based on alleged generalized equal
protection violations. Upon careful de novo review, we conclude that the district
court’s dismissal was proper. See Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir.
2000) (per curiam) (de novo review of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) dismissal); see also
Stone v. Harry, 364 F.3d 912, 914-15 (8th Cir. 2004) (court need not consider factual
allegations that pro se plaintiff has first presented on appeal).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
