Arkansas inmate Dexter Harmon appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We previously-granted Harmon in forma pauperis status, affirmed the dismissals of claims against all but Arkansas Assistant Attorney General Bourgon Reynolds, and ordered briefing on those claims.

After careful de novo review, see Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (28 U.S.C. § 1915A dismissal for failure to state claim reviewed de novo), we conclude that the district court correctly determined that Reynolds was entitled to absolute immunity in the circumstances presented here. See Murphy v. Morris, 849 F.2d 1101, 1104-05 (8th Cir. 1988) (articulating factors to be considered in deciding whether to extend absolute immunity to government attorney who was representing state defendant in prisoner civil rights lawsuit). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
