PER CURIAM.

Charles Armstrong appeals the district court’s1 order dismissing without prejudice his pro se civil rights complaint against numerous defendants. After careful review of the record, we conclude that Mr. Armstrong’s complaint was frivolous and failed to state a claim. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), (ii); Bray v. Alexandria Women’s Health Clinic, 506 U.S. 263, 267-68 (1993); West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 48 (1988); Martin v. Sargent, 780 F.2d 1334, 1337 (8th Cir. 1985). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
