PER CURIAM.

Ali Sayman appeals the dismissal without prejudice of a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint in which he alleges that defendants have caused him to be "known as the race discriminator against Jewish people since 1967." We 1 agree with the district court that this complaint fails to provide a short and plain statement of the claim, as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We deny Sayman's post-appeal motions.
