Before WOLLMAN, BYE, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Inmate Alberto Anguiano appeals the district court’s1 preservice dismissal of
his civil action in which he requested that criminal charges be brought against the
named defendants for opening his legal mail. Following careful review of the record
and Anguiano’s brief, we conclude that the court did not err in dismissing the case,
because Anguiano lacked standing to seek criminal charges against defendants. See
Linda R.S. v. Richard D., 410 U.S. 614, 619 (1973); Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781,
783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (de novo review). Accordingly, we affirm, and we
also deny the pending motions. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable Robert W. Pratt, United States District Judge for the Southern
District of Iowa.
