Iowa civil detainee John W. Arnzen, III appeals the district court’s 1 preservice dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action challenging his commitment to the Civil Commitment Unit for Sex Offenders, and arguing he should have been released on supervision. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.

This court finds no reversible error upon de novo review. See Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam). The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying appointed counsel. See Phillips v. Jasper Cty. Jail, 437 F.3d 791, 794 (8th Cir. 2006) (no right to appointed counsel in civil cases).

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
