Before HANSEN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and MURPHY, Circuit                                             Judges.
                                  ___________

PER CURIAM.

        Kenneth H. Hallquist, a South Dakota prisoner, appeals the district court’s1 dismissal without prejudice
of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action as frivolous pursuant to former 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (now § 1915(e)). Because
the prison is immune from

      The Honorable John B. Jones, United States District Judge for the District of
        1

South Dakota.
section 1983 liability, and Hallquist did not delineate how Prison Health Services was responsible for any alleged
constitutional violations, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

        We thank the appellant's appointed counsel for his assistance to the appellant in this case.

        A true copy.

                 Attest:

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