PER CURIAM.

Iowa inmate Michael Eugene Horlas appeals the district court’s1 order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint without prejudice. We conclude dismissal was proper because the district court did not err in holding that Horlas did not comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________
