Federal inmate William E. Hawkins appeals the district court’s * preservice dismissal, without prejudice, of Hawkins’s civil rights action, and the later denial of his motion for reconsideration. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude the district court properly dismissed for the reasons stated in the court’s ruling, and the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion for reconsideration. Accordingly, we affirm. We also deny Hawkins’s pending in forma pauperis motion as moot. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
