Before BOWMAN, FAGG, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Andrew Elliott sought judicial review when his social security claim was denied.
The district court ordered him twice over a three-year period to file a motion for
summary judgment, but he did not do so. The district court then dismissed his
complaint without prejudice for failure to prosecute. Elliott appeals. Having reviewed
the record and the briefs, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in
dismissing the complaint. See Garland v. Peebles, 1 F.3d 683, 686 (8th Cir. 1993)
(standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
