Samar Akins v. Jon Bruning

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Samar Akins appeals the district court’s 1 preservice dismissal, without prejudice, of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint seeking damages and equitable relief for all African American individuals in Nebraska, based on alleged generalized equal protection violations. Upon careful de novo review, we conclude that the district court’s dismissal was proper. See Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (de novo review of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) dismissal); see also Stone v. Harry, 364 F.3d 912, 914-15 (8th Cir. 2004) (court need not consider factual allegations that pro se plaintiff has first presented on appeal).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

. The Honorable Joseph F. Bataillon, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska.
