Arkansas inmate A1 Jabbar Salam appeals the district court’s 1 preservice dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action and moves to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal. We grant him leave to proceed IFP, leaving the fee-collection details to the district court, and we affirm. We agree with the district court that Salam failed to state any claim for which relief could be granted, see Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (de novo review of 28 U.S.C. § 1915A dismissal); and we find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s denial of Salam’s motions to amend his complaint *404 and for appointment of counsel, see Meehan v. United Consumers Club Franchising Corp., 312 F.3d 909, 913 (8th Cir. 2002) (motion to amend); Davis v. Scott, 94 F.3d 444, 447 (8th Cir. 1996) (motion for appointment of counsel).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R, 47A(a).
