Stanton Q. Shelton, a Fulton State Hospital inmate, appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1988 action. We grant Shelton in forma pauperis status, and waive the appeal fees. We find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s decision to abstain from considering Shelton’s claims arising from the administration of antipsychotic medication. See Night Clubs, Inc. v. City of Fort Smith, Ark., 163 F.3d 475, 479 (8th Cir. 1998) (standard of review). As the district court noted, Shelton’s mental-health treatment plan is subject to annual review by the state probate court, and if Shelton believes his court-appointed guardian is not acting in his best interests, he may file a motion in the state probate court for a hearing. See Mo.Rev.Stat. § 475.082 (2000). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
