Before McMILLIAN, BOWMAN, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Tuan Quoc Nguyen appeals the District Court’s1 pre-service dismissal, under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B), of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully
reviewed the record, we conclude dismissal was proper. Nguyen’s allegations

      1
        The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Missouri.
regarding medical mistreatment did not state a constitutional violation. See Dulany
v. Carnahan, 132 F.3d 1234, 1239 (8th Cir. 1997); Martin v. Sargent,780 F.2d 1334,
1337-39 (8th Cir. 1985). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
