Norman Miller appeals the district court’s 1 order dismissing his civil action. After careful de novo review, see Strand v. Diversified Collection Sera, Inc., 380 F.3d 316, 317 (8th Cir. 2004), we agree with the district court that Miller’s complaint did not state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. We also deny Miller’s pending motion.
