Before KELLY, ERICKSON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM. Al Jabbar Salam appeals the district court’s1 without-prejudice dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the action. See Smith v. Gold Dust Casino, 526 F.3d 402, 404-05 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Salam’s motions to compel. ______________________________

1 The Honorable James M. Moody, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Beth M. Deere, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
