Alberto Anguiano v. Dallas Cty. Jail Under Sheriff

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Inmate Alberto Anguiano appeals the district court’s 1 preservice dismissal of his civil action in which he requested that criminal charges be brought against the named defendants for opening his legal mail. Following careful review of the record and Anguiano’s brief, we conclude that the court did not err in dismissing the case, because Anguiano lacked standing to seek criminal charges against defendants. See Linda R.S. v. Richard D., 410 U.S. 614, 619, 98 S.Ct. 1146, 35 L.Ed.2d 536 (1973); Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (de novo review). Accordingly, we affirm, and we also deny the pending motions. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
