    PER CURIAM.
    Arkansas inmate Chester S. Vaughn appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of
    his 
    42 U.S.C. § 1983
     action for failure to state a claim. Having jurisdiction under 
    28 U.S.C. § 1291
    , this court affirms.
    Upon de novo review of Vaughn’s appellate arguments and the district court
    record, this court finds no basis for reversal. See Moore v. Sims, 
    200 F.3d 1170
     (8th
    Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (pre-service dismissal under 
    28 U.S.C. § 1915
    (e)(2) is
    reviewed de novo).
    The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. Vaughn’s
    pending motions are denied as moot.
